Step back in time to the days of the Founding Fathers and the Revolutionary War at Colonial Williamsburg. The interactive, living-history museum--which covers 122 hectares (301 acres)--is actually a network of restored Colonial structures manned by costumed, in-character employees. Ride in a rented horse-drawn carriage down the cobblestone streets past the Governor's Palace and Capitol Building. Walk through Merchants Square, an 18th-century marketplace dotted with original storefronts. Take part in America’s fight for independence during a reenactment of the storming of the Governor's Palace or the march to victory at Yorktown. You can even participate in a trial. Purchase the combined Historic Triangle ticket for discounted entries to Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown.

I'm a former employee so I may be biased but I have always enjoyed Colonial Williamsburg. Much more so In the off season when it's not crowded but enjoyable all the same. If you're visiting Virginia it's definitely worth checking out. Also if you're a visitor from out of state or country there are many other honorable mentions within 50 miles, Westover, Berkeley and Shirley plantations in Charles city are also quite amazing!

Very beautiful old town. Great restaurants, lots of parking, great job of revitalized architecture and planning. There are a lot of historical notes all over explains day to day life of 1700s colonialists.
