Colonial Williamsburg and The College of William and Mary
In the heart of Williamsburg lies its most affordable family venues. Both Colonial Williamsburg and The College of William and Mary allow tourists and visitors to walk on their grounds free of charge. In Colonial Williamsburg, the original capital of Virginia, one can see the immaculate Governor's Mansion and Gardens. Farther down Duke Of Gloucester street in Colonial Williamsburg is the former Virginia State Capitol Building. Beyond its historical buildings, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation features live, outdoor historical reenactments daily. These reenactments are free to see for any visitor who is nearby. Pick up a free copy of the weekly reenactment and event schedule when you enter Colonial Williamsburg.
The College of William and Mary, one of the nation's oldest institutions of higher learning, also lends its ground to any tourist or visitor who happens through. Check out the College's Wren Building, the oldest operational building in the United States. Depending on the season, tours of the Wren Building interior are free of charge. Beyond the Wren Building, one needs be sure to see the College's Sunken Gardens. The Gardens, of Old English design, are a hot-spot for outdoor games such as soccer, football, or ultimate frisbee. Watch out for the occassional streaker though! It's a student tradition to streak the Sunken Gardens once before graduating. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and several more founding fathers attended the College. Don't miss out on its rich history.
