Visiting Colonial Williamsburg and its 300 acres of historic property, buildings, museums, homes, and shops is the only way to truly experience life as it was in 18th century Virginia. The area's restoration began in 1926, when Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin committed to preserving the city's buildings and historic structures. The result is seen and heard even today as horses clip-clop down the cobblestone streets centered between glorious gardens.

Whether you enroll in a colonial dance lesson, tour the lush grounds with knowledgeable curators, or witness an honest-to-goodness witch trial, your key to discovering the best of this enormous living history museum is "The Official Guide to Colonial Williamsburg"—find it at the visitor's center.
