Product Description

No visit to Colonial Williamsburg is complete without our official guide book!

This first new edition of Colonial Williamsburg's official guide since 2014, this book includes information on all of Colonial Williamsburg's historic sites. This guide provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date information for every public building, private home, tavern and trade site of what happened here and why it mattered—and still matters, while also providing histories of the buildings and some of the people who lived there.
