Prepare to be transported to a time long gone. Williamsburg is a his-

tory buff’s dream come true, with plenty of family-friendly attractions

to keep you busy all week long.

What to do:

Get a taste of what life was like in the 18th century.

Tour exquisitely preserved historic buildings and interact with actors

who don traditional colonial clothing and recount stories of life in the

1700s. Kids can get in on the playacting, too, dressing up in their

pick of period garb for the day.

Where to do it:

Colonial Williamsburg is the world’s largest out-

door living history museum, and it delivers something different

around every corner. For further reflecting on days of yore, explore

the other nearby points that complete America’s Historic Triangle:

Jamestown and Yorktown.

Why go now:

The temperature may be starting to drop, but it’s

perfect for all the outdoor walking you’ll be doing. (Plus, you’ll be

avoiding the busy summer crowds.) Not to mention, while Colonial

Williamsburg is open year-round, if you visit after the new year you

may encounter the annual construction projects that take place to

keep the old buildings in tip-top shape.

Insider’s tip:

At night, stop by Chowning’s Tavern for a pint of

ale and hours of

gambols

, classic games and songs popular in

1700s taverns.
