Review:

Walking through the Colonial Williamsburg and passing by people in historic 17th or 18th century clothes may feel like you stumbled into the middle of a movie set. They even talk using the diction and grammar of the times, which is just different enough that we cannot understand them. You will pass by beautifully restored buildings as the Governor’s Palace, the Courthouse, the Raleigh Tavern, and the Capitol.

The restoration is so excellent that it is hard to believe that all those lovely old buildings have been around for hundreds of years. If you are wondering what to do in Williamsburg, Virginia with kids, this is a great place to start exploring. You can also listen to the music Jefferson liked, watch the 18th century dancing, or check one of the city’s many excellent restaurants.
