Discover American History

History comes alive in Virginia. Tour premier historic American sites such as Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, Mount Vernon, and Jamestown, the New World's first permanent English settlement, founded in 1607. Home to eight American presidents, Virginia was the fateful site in America's battle for independence. Later, more major Civil War battles were fought in Virginia than any other state.
