Colonial Williamsburg

With 301 acres the largely open-air Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, is a perfect destination in this age of social distancing.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the most important chapter of U.S. history — history that more often than not is ignored these days.  

The history continues at nearby Jamestown, where English-speaking America started, and Yorktown, where independence from Britain was secured in 1781. In Yorktown, be sure to visit the excellent American Revolution Museum. Also nearby is Berkeley Plantation, the location of America’s first Thanksgiving.

For the full colonial experience book one of the authentically reproduced colonial homes. This also gives you unique, all-hours access to the grounds of Colonial Williamsburg.
