New Discounts for VCU employees
We have some new discounts!
Colonial Williamsburg is now offering a discount to VCU employees.
Welcome to Colonial Williamsburg, where every cobblestone tells a tale of sacrifice, endurance, and achievement. As you step into our Historic Area, you’re not just entering the past—you’re immersing yourself in the revolutionary spirit that shaped a nation.
Our historic interpreters breathe life into history through captivating performances, while authentic trade shops and meticulously preserved homes and gardens offer a vivid window into 18th-century life. Picture blacksmiths forging the tools of revolution, printers disseminating the seeds of independence, and milliners crafting hats for those who dared to defy the crown.
Explore the Governor’s Palace, once the residence of British governors and later a bastion of American ideals inhabited by luminaries like Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Stand in the Capitol Building, where the echoes of impassioned debates still linger. Listen to the whispers of revolutionary ideas in the rooms of the Raleigh Tavern.
Navigate our historic grounds with ease thanks to our complimentary bus service, allowing you to traverse the footsteps of revolutionaries with convenience. And when you’ve savored your fill of history, indulge in a performance by the Fife and Drum Corps, treat yourself to a taste of colonial cuisine in one of our historic Taverns, or dive into the plethora of events that continue to honor the spirit of revolution.
