U.S. Southeast
WILLIAMSBURG
The region of southeastern Virginia around Williamsburg is home to the
second permanent English settlement in the Americas. During a visit to
the area, groups can enjoy a range of unique educational opportunities.
As they walk the same grounds that George Washington, Patrick
Henry, Thomas Jefferson and other influential early Americans walked,
students find out about the significant role Colonial Williamsburg
played in the development of the United States. They can trace the
area’s founding in 1607 at Historic Jamestowne and learn more about
Revolutionary War heritage during a visit to the Yorktown Battlefields.
Vivian Bunting of the Greater Williamsburg Chamber & Tourism
Alliance said that, in addition to getting a history lesson, groups visiting
the area are welcomed with a number of other top experiences. “[They
can] explore science and physics in our world-class theme park, Busch
Gardens Williamsburg, or check out Virginia Living Museum, where
science comes alive,” she said. “Performance opportunities are also
available at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Colonial Williamsburg in
addition to other non-traditional venues.”
