Colonial Williamsburg
Colonial Williamsburg is a combination of a historical landmark and a living history museum. It is an open-air assemblage of buildings populated with historical reenactors whose job it is to explain and demonstrate aspects of daily life in Virginia’s Colonial Capitol.
Exhibits include dozens of authentic or recreated colonial houses and relating to American Revolutionary War history. Prominent buildings include the Raleigh Tavern, the Capitol, The Governor’s Palace (all reconstructed), and Bruton Parish Church (original).
Rather than just displaying Antiquity, the combining of the Colonial Town allows the reenactors and interpreters to work, dress and speak as they would have back in Colonial times thus creating the actual atmosphere of ideals of 18 Century American Colonists.
