A part of Colonial Williamsburg, the Governor’s Palace is the second largest building in the historic town – only being ousted by the capital building. Governor's Palace was the official residence of the state’s Royal Governors, including two post-colonial governors, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry.
Visitors can now tour the historical reconstruction and experience the grandeur and aura of the pre-Revolution era. The elegant décor of the house, specifically the Grand Ballroom, is sure to impress architecture lovers.
Some of the other things visitors can look forward to include a large display of guns and swords, the tiered gardens, and a boxwood maze; there’s an ox wagon rider through the well-manicured gardens for a true 18th century experience.
