A practical companion to Colonial Williamsburg

This guide maps the Historic Area through its restored, reconstructed, and furnished buildings, covering public sites, private homes, taverns, historic trades, and art museums. Its scope also reaches beyond historic sites to include resorts, dining, and shopping, with more than 200 illustrations and maps to support visitors as they explore. The description places the area’s colonial and Revolutionary-era history alongside the varied experiences of people—Black, white, and Native American; enslaved and free—who helped shape the new nation. It also connects the setting with the continuing relevance of America’s founding documents and principles.
