Williamsburg is one of America's oldest historical reconstruction projects. Begun more than forty years ago with funding from the Rockefeller family as a colonial archaeology project, Williamsburg today is a completely reconstructed colonial town which attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year, as well as scores of school classes.

A thorough visit to Williamsburg takes a day or two and requires careful planning in the spring and summer seasons. The historical attractions at Jamestown and Yorktown are nearby, and there are also a number of other tourist attractions and theme parks in the Williamsburg area.
