Colonial Williamsburg offers one of America's most immersive encounters with the 18th century, and this travelogue celebrates it in its most magical season — the holidays. From the candlelit Governor's Palace to the First Night New Year's Eve celebrations, the historic district comes alive with period costumes, colonial crafts, and the spirit of the American founding.
The holiday season in Williamsburg is marked by a calendar of special events: firing of the cannon on the Palace Green, Grand Illumination with fireworks over the restored colonial skyline, and the warm glow of candles in every window. It is Christmas as it was celebrated in the age of Jefferson and Washington.
This travelogue captures the full experience — the historic district's extraordinary preservation, the living history interpretation, the taverns and inns that make Williamsburg one of America's most beloved destinations, and the particular magic of the holiday season in a place that takes history seriously.
