Colonial Williamsburg

Colonial Williamsburg is a 300 acre non-profit living history museum dedicated to educating visitors about the origins of the idea of America in a recreated 18th century setting complete with historical reenactors who explain and demonstrate various aspects of daily life during the period. We visited in October, 2014.
