Colonial Williamsburg
Location: Southern Virginia
Colonial Williamsburg is one of the best attractions in Southern Virginia. This section of historic houses, shops, and workplaces is manned by volunteers and staff who are passionate about what they do. Whether you want to know about weaving or shoe-making or binding books or making swords, they will be happy to talk you through the process. This magical hole in time is saved from being corny by the workers’ devotion to their subjects, and it is truly a delight to visit. Also, there are plenty of tasty pubs along the main street! Free to wander, but you’ll have to buy a day ticket to go into most of the houses.
