WELCOME TO HISTORIC WILLIAMSBURG

A few blocks walk from Williamsburg Hospitality House is the 173 acre Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg replete with fife and drum parades that, together with the costumed hosts and hostesses, intepreters and more than 100 craftsman practicing 18th century techniques, bring the restoration to life. Here you will find a very special sense of time and place, walking the streets where American patriots George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry prepared the way for our great fight for freedom, giving birth to a nation and hope to all mankind. A site of historic and archaeological heritage, Williamsburg is unparalleled...the benchmark for all restorations since. The most wonderful thing about a walk through Williamsburg is that you need not be a history buff to find inspiration at every turn !
