Celebrate Freedom in Virginia

Visit the places where our forefathers envisioned freedom from British rule, fought for and won our nation's independence. See where those seeds of the American Revolution were sown in Colonial Williamsburg, which led to Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech at St. John's Church in Richmond, and harvested at the final battle between British General Lord Cornwallis' and General George Washington's soldiers at Yorktown Battlefield.

Be sure to bring a waterproof camera to capture the delight on your children's faces when you join them in the excitement of being a kid again!
