Williamsburg Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, known collectively as Virginia's historic triangle, are connected by the 23-mile Colonial Parkway, making it easy to hit all three of these major Virginia landmarks. In this area, discover the progression of American history from the first settlement at Jamestown to the flowering of colonial culture and the beginnings of a revolution at Williamsburg to the final triumph over the British at Yorktown. The statewide Jamestown 2007 celebrations, marking the 400th anniversary of the settlement, begin May 2006 and extend into fall 2007 (visit www.jamestown2007.org for more information).
