Come see where America began — Virginia’s Historic Triangle: Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. Visit Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the “New World,” established in 1607. 2007 will mark the 400th anniversary of our nation’s birthplace and an 18-month slate of events, beginning in fall 2006 and continuing through spring 2008, will commemorate this milestone in our nation’s history.

Step back in time to a thriving 18th-century community when you visit Colonial Williamsburg. America’s largest living history museum offers an unparalleled view of daily Colonial life when Williamsburg was the largest and most populated of Britain’s 13 colonies making it a powerful center of politics, commerce and culture. Over 500 original and carefully reconstructed public buildings, private homes, taverns and shops, and 90 acres of gardens and public greens comprise the Historic Area.

Walk the road to revolution in Yorktown where American and French forces defeated British troops in the autumn of 1781 in the last major battle of the Revolutionary War. Yorktown today is a delightful Colonial-era village with original historic homes, quaint shops and restaurants.
