At Colonial Williamsburg, take a carriage ride, visit the shops and taverns where Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and others conceived the ideals of liberty, independence, and personal freedom that influenced the founding of the nation. Listen as the Declaration of Independence is read to the citizens. March from the Capitol to the Courthouse as Washington and his troops begin their journey towards Yorktown and victory.

At the Jamestown Settlement, learn the storey of America’s first permanent English settlement through gallery exhibits and living-history interpretation in outdoor settings.

At the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, feel what it was like for ordinary men and women during the American Revolution through films, a timeline, and immersive exhibits. Outdoors, hear the cannon roar and experience a soldier’s life while mustering with troops in a re-created Continental Army encampment or get a whiff of food prepared over an open hearth in a re-created Revolution-era farmhouse. In the exhibition galleries, see a rare July 1776 broadside printing of the Declaration of Independence.

At Historic Jamestowne, witness archaeology in action at the 1607 James Fort excavation, see the original 17th-century church tower, tour the Visitor Centre with its multimedia presentation, tour the Archaearium which displays many of the artefacts unearthed in the fort, and drive the scenic Island loop road.
