Pillow Fighting 101 This picture is what a vacation in Williamsburg is all about. After a long ride, waiting to get checked in and unloading the car––kids cannot resist the sheer joy of bolting thru the hotel room door and giving that bed the true test. In a way it’s the first really fun thing the kids get to do on vacation, and we absolutely love it.
On page 72 in this magazine, our members have put together a list of what we have to offer you and your family. Whether you are watching your pennies, camping out, seeking the quaint pleasures of a B&B or 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets––we have a place for you that will fit you and yours perfectly. If you need some help finding the best location for your family’s pillow fight, call our friends at the Greater Williamsburg Tourist Information Center and they will do their best to get you the information that you need to make the most of your well-deserved time off. 1-800-446-9244 We look forward to seeing you and don’t get on the kids too much about jumping on the bed. It’s one of those small pleasures in life and we really don’t mind.

Welcome
To The Historic Triangle Where Modern Amenities Meld With The Past
Charming cobblestone streets weave their way through quaint specialty shops. Mouthwatering smells waft from the assortment of surrounding eateries. The James River flows swiftly by, creating a picturesque setting. Historic finds are at every turn amid the enchanting scenery from the fabric of the region. Throughout Williamsburg and the Historic Triangle, modern amenities meld with the past, and the future flourishes from the rich history of the area. The Historic Triangle, also known as the birthplace of American Democracy, is made up of three cities: Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. If you’ve ever skimmed an American history book, chances are you’ve heard of this area, where the settlers sent by London’s Virginia Company first landed on the sandy shores of Jamestown; where the first ideas of a revolution from Britain were kindled in Williamsburg; where one of the most critical of all Revolutionary War battles was waged along the waters of Yorktown. History buffs will enjoy visiting the famous battlefields, buildings and plantations that make the Historic Triangle what it is today. Even the children will delight in an afternoon of discovery at the Yorktown Victory Center or exploring and experiencing the daily lives of the settlers at the Jamestown Settlement. Inspired and ready for adventure, get acquainted with some of the region’s more modern activities by visiting the area’s famous amusement park, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, with fast-paced roller coasters, a world-class entertainment scene and a guaranteed full day of fun for all ages. If you’re looking for something a little more relaxed, complete the day by watching an independent film or a concert at Kimball Theatre, located in Merchants Square. While Busch Gardens does have a great selection of souvenirs to take home, the Historic Triangle itself is bursting with everything from high-end, luxury boutiques to the best-of-the-best in outlet shopping. From the fabulous shops found along Riverwalk Landing in Yorktown to the old-world-inspired stores dotting the streets of Merchants Square in Williamsburg, this is a savvy shopper’s delight. If all that activity has worked up a proper appetite, satisfy your stomach with culinary delights from a multitude of restaurants in the Historic Triangle, many with awe-inspiring waterfront views and that old-fashioned charm and Southern hospitality that’s hard to find elsewhere. Then toast to a vacation to remember over a glass—or two—of wine made right here at the Williamsburg Winery. So here’s to a vacation full of family fun, fine dining and fabulous shopping—all intertwined throughout Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.
Welcome to the Historic Triangle! 14

The Attractions That Intrigue You Discover adventure in Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown for summer fun and all year round. Take the family to Historic Jamestowne, and walk in the steps of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas. Don’t miss the Jamestown Settlement, recreating America’s first permanent English colony. Journey to Colonial Williamsburg and visit historical buildings such as the Governor’s Palace, the Capitol or Raleigh Tavern. If you’re interested in the cultures of other countries, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is the ultimate attraction for European exploration with thrilling rides, entertaining shows, world-class shops and award-winning cuisine.

Colonial Williamsburg That the Future May Learn from the Past Colonial Williamsburg offers experiences for every age, taste and budget. Guests enjoy exploring Colonial Williamsburg’s Revolutionary City and meeting the residents as they transform themselves from subjects of a distant king to citizens of a new republic. “Questors” from eight to 80 can experience the intrigue of the newest interactive, alternate reality game, “RevQuest: The Old Enemy,” offered through the end of November 2014. The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg surprise guests with an expansive collection that include decorative and folk arts, including the new major exhibition, “A Rich and Varied Culture: The Material World of the Early American South.”
The Revolution City Guests can immerse themselves in the hustle and bustle of the Revolutionary City and experience what it was like to be a resident of a city on the verge of war — or in the midst of it — while exploring the government buildings, shops, homes, gardens and taverns in the colonial capital. Townspeople, tradesmen, shopkeepers, political figures, women and slaves share their hopes, struggles and fears in these uncertain prewar times. Buzzing with political discussion and dispute, the city comes alive.
Scan Here for Menu, Directions & More!
Engagement and Hands-on Experiences More than 20 guided and self-guided tours offered daily are included in a Colonial Williamsburg admission ticket. The tours provide an in-depth look at the homes and gardens of Williamsburg’s 18th-century residents, offer the perspective of a museum curator and provide an overview of all the Revolutionary City offers.

chores, playing games colonial children enjoyed or creating their own folk art to take home. Costume rental available at the Visitor Center and the Marketplace near the Magazine enhances the experience.
Save The Revolution! The city explodes with secret activity led by a cast of real historical characters as “RevQuest: The Old Enemy,” the fourth in a series of alternate reality spy games, gets under way daily now through November. Guests receive clues via text message and become agents for the committee for secret correspondence to help save the Revolution.
Christmas in Williamsburg From Thanksgiving until New Year’s Day, Colonial Williamsburg is alive with the sights, sounds and scents of the holiday season. Grand Illumination takes place Dec. 7, 2014, when candles illuminate each building in the Revolutionary City and fireworks are set off from three locations as night falls. Miles of pine roping decorate the town, and wreaths made of natural materials adorn the buildings. Special programming and dining options create memories for families, friends and romantic partners to cherish forever.

Begin your day with a hearty breakfast from Old Mill House of Pancakes and Waffles. Serving Virginia country specials, pancakes and malted waffles...all priced for a family budget.
Winter 2015 Winter is an ideal time to experience Colonial Williamsburg. Some buildings close for maintenance on a rotating basis, and some programming is on hiatus for the winter, but the trade shops and museums have smaller crowds, allowing time for in-depth examination and discussion. The Golden Horseshoe is open for golfers who enjoy sweater-weather play, and the Spa of Colonial Williamsburg offers rejuvenating treatments to get the year off to a great start. There’s nothing quite as beautiful as the houses and shops of Colonial Williamsburg after a rare new fallen snow and nothing quite as comforting as hot cider and stew in a historic tavern or a glass of wine enjoyed by a fire in the Williamsburg Lodge.

of 1607. On May 13, their 104 passengers—all men and boys—selected a site on the banks of the James River for what was to be America’s first permanent English settlement, predating Plymouth in Massachusetts by 13 years. Through living history, a film and gallery exhibits, the development of the colony and its impact on the Powhatan Indians, long-time inhabitants of coastal Virginia, are vividly depicted at Jamestown Settlement, a museum operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Jamestown Settlement is located about a mile from the original site and 10 minutes from Williamsburg, Jamestown’s successor as capital of the Virginia colony. Aboard life-size replicas of the three 1607 ships, you’ll get a sense of the spirit of opportunity that motivated the Jamestown colonists as well as the difficult living conditions endured by 17th-century voyagers. In the museum’s re-created fort, you’ll see how the colonists coped with an unfamiliar environment and brought English customs, religion, dress, food and building styles to the New World. You’ll be introduced to the culture of the Powhatan Indians, in a setting re-created from an early 17thcentury archaeological site. Your visit to Jamestown Settlement begins with an introductory film that presents an overview of Jamestown’s origins in England and the early years of the colony. Events and themes presented in the film are explored in detail in expansive exhibition galleries. Presenting current historical knowledge, innovative design and a distinctive collection, the galleries chronicle the nation’s 17th-century beginnings in Virginia in the context of its Powhatan Indian, English and west central African cultures. The first of three sections introduces visitors to pre-17th-century Virginia and provides overviews of the “parent” cultures, with full-scale dioramas portraying a Powhatan Indian setting and a dwelling in Angola, homeland of the first Africans in Virginia, and an English streetscape. Exhibits also explore European overseas trade and colonization and advances in shipbuilding and navigation that ultimately led to the formation of the Virginia Company, the English investment group that sponsored the Jamestown colony. The second section is introduced with a scale model of a 1607 Powhatan community and explores the complexity of the relationship between Virginia’s colonists and the native Powhatan people, ranging from trade to conflict, and the role of cultural intermediaries. Exhibits show how the English secured a foothold in Virginia with the establishment of settlements and economic enterprises and set the course of the future with the introduction of tobacco as a cash crop. While the first documented Africans to arrive in Virginia in 1619 may eventually have won their freedom, the emergence of lifetime servitude for later African immigrants was motivated by the demand for labor to produce tobacco.

theater chronicles African encounters with Europeans and the development of the transatlantic slave trade. The third section of exhibits provides an overview of the political, social and economic development and expansion of the Virginia colony during the 17th century, while Jamestown served as its capital. Fullscale structures re-created from archaeological sites depict Powhatan, slave and planter dwellings of the late 1600s. Short films describe the evolution and impact of government in 17th-century Virginia and the legacies of Jamestown—cultural diversity, language and representative government—that were the seeds of the United States of America. Leaving the indoor exhibits, visitors arrive at the re-created Powhatan Indian village where historical interpreters discuss and demonstrate the Powhatan way of life. The village, consisting of several dwellings, a garden and a circle of carved ceremonial posts, is based on archaeological findings at a site once inhabited by Paspahegh Indians, the Powhatan tribal group closest to Jamestown, and descriptions recorded by English colonists. From the Powhatan village, a path leads to a pier where the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery are docked. Visitors can talk with costumed interpreters about the four-and-a-halfmonth voyage from England. Inside the wooden stockade of Jamestown Settlement’s re-created colonial fort are wattle-anddaub structures with thatched roofs representing Jamestown’s earliest buildings including dwellings, a church, a storehouse and an armory. Interpreters are engaged in a variety of activities typical of daily life during the 1610-14 time period, such as agriculture, carpentry, blacksmithing and the preparation of meals, and provide daily demonstrations of matchlock musket firing. Visitors are welcome to handle many of the 17th-century reproduction items used in Jamestown Settlement’s outdoor living-history program.

Jamestowne Walk in the footsteps of Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, and the men and women who settled England’s first permanent colony in North America in 1607. Experience the actual place where the first representative assembly in America met and the first Africans arrived in Virginia. Explore the original site of the 1607 James Fort as archaeologists uncover the remains of this first settlement. In the mid-90s, archaeologists led by Dr. William Kelso of Preservation Virginia unearthed conclusive proof of the remains of James Fort. Digging has continued and more than one million artifacts have been excavated from the fort site. Weekdays from April – October, watch archaeologists at work in the 1607 James Fort site. At the Historic Jamestowne Visitor Center, learn about daily interpretive programs, tour the exhibit galleries, shop in the museum store and view a multimedia theater presentation that will immerse you in the sights and sounds of 17th–century Jamestown. Once outdoors, join a guided ranger walk, archaeology walking tour or choose to stroll the island at your leisure. Remnants of the early settlement are still visible, including the 17th century brick church tower - the island’s only surviving aboveground structure as well as the archaeological remains of New Towne, established in the 1620s. The Jamestown Memorial Church, statutes, and monuments commemorate important personalities and events of Virginia’s first capital. Located at the east end of the island, the Nathalie P. and Alan M. Voorhees Archaearium, Jamestown’s archaeology museum, displays more than 1,500 artifacts from James Fort and tells the story of how the Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists found the fort and what their excavations have revealed about the settlement. Here is also where you can follow the story of a fourteen-year-old English girl named ‘Jane’ by the archaeologists who found her. Her remains were discovered in 2012 among other evidence of “the starving time” winter of 1609-10. The bones were analyzed by Dr. Douglas Owsley of the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution. Owsley and his team identified signs of survival cannibalism. The results of this groundbreaking research - the first forensic evidence of survival cannibalism in the American colonies - were announced in May 2013. This evidence is presented at the Archaearium alongside similar studies of a young man’s death from a musket ball wound and the remains of a man believed to be Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, a founding father of Jamestown. goWilliamsburg.com

Spend time soaking up the natural environment of the island, where you can observe bald eagles, blue herons and white-tailed deer among the indigenous wildlife that thrive in the area. Special programs that highlight the eagles that live on the island are offered seasonally. Throughout the year, you can meet some of the early settlers during eyewitness programs and living history tours. Events are held on site to commemorate important dates in Jamestown’s history. The 1607 landing at Jamestown, the anniversary of the first legislative assembly in English North America, Bacon’s Rebellion and Archaeology Day are among the annual programs offered. Visitors can also participate in special evening programs including a canine-friendly Barkaeology tour and “Christmas Be Mery,” which features a re-creation of an early Christmas service conducted by the arriving settlers. After departing the Visitor Center, continue your visit with a trip along the Island Loop Drive, a five-mile, self-guided driving tour, where you can explore the natural environment. Exhibit signs along the drive explain how the early Jamestown settlers harnessed this environment to help them survive. Complete your visit with a stop at the Glasshouse of 1608 to observe artisans practice glassmaking, one of the earliest industries attempted on the island. Historic Jamestowne is jointly administered by the National Park Service and The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (on behalf of Preservation Virginia) and preserves the site of America’s first permanent English settlement.

Victory Center Experience Revolutionary Era Life In the spring of 1781, British General Cornwallis led his army into Virginia. Opposing him was the smaller American force led by the Marquis de Lafayette. This is where the last important conflict of the American Revolution was fought. George Washington, in conference with the French General Rochambeau, decided that a combined land and naval battle in Virginia was now possible, as the French fleet was sailing north to the Chesapeake Bay. Washington then quietly moved the bulk of French and American troops from New York to Yorktown. On September 5, the French fleet intercepted

Yorktown Battlefields Jamestown is where America was born. Williamsburg is where our nation’s ideals matured. And Yorktown is where America became of age. Visit Yorktown Battlefield and take yourself back in time where history was made. A tour of the Battlefield begins at the National Park Service Visitor Center (Colonial National Historical Park), where the battle on land and at sea is presented through a series of multimedia exhibits. You can walk through a full-sized replica of the quarterdeck of a British warship, view the movement of troops through a special lighted map display, and browse through a beautiful collection of Revolutionary War artifacts, including the tents used by General George Washington to plan the siege. A 16-minute film, “Siege at Yorktown,” discusses the importance of the battle, and an exhibit shows the role of African Americans during and after the Revolutionary War. Through careful examination of 18th-century military maps and archaeological excavations, the National Park Service has reconstructed a nearly complete picture of General Washington’s siege. Earth works and siege lines mark the positions of British and American troops during the battle. Tours of the Battlefield are conducted from the Visitor Center by park rangers. Maps and audio tours are also available for a self-guided driving tour of the battlefield and encampment areas, and walking tour of the Town of York.
The National Park Service maintains the restored 18th-century homes of Augustine Moore, where the negotiations were conducted for the surrender of the British army, and Thomas Nelson, Jr., one of Virginia’s signers of the Declaration of Independence. Be sure to ask about these when you visit the National Park Service Visitor Center, or call 757898-2410 for dates and hours.

TODD CAIRNS RUSSELL PARRISH
A short trip along the scenic Colonial Parkway to the Jamestown/Scotland Ferry, a relaxing 20-minute (FREE!) ferry ride across the beautiful James River, and a lovely country drive through Surry County brings you to the heart of downtown Genuine Smithfield. Come enjoy a little piece of heaven on the banks of the Pagan River. The Historic District is the hub, where bustling art galleries and specialty shops, town offices and historic buildings coexist peacefully among the quaint Gothic, stately Colonial and sprawling Victorian homes. The river takes center stage at the entrance to the historic district where area icon, Smithfield Station, holds the spotlight with its replica Victorian Coast Guard Station hotel, restaurant, marina and lighthouse! Just across the street is one of three convenient entrances to Smithfield’s newest attraction—Windsor Castle Park. This gorgeous, 209-acre riverside park includes over 4 miles of scenic woodland trails, a state-of-the-art kayak/canoe launch, a dog park, picnic areas and a mountain bike path. And, of course, Smithfield is the Ham Capital of the World so great dining abounds with something to please every taste bud, from the Historic Smithfield Inn, riverside dining at Smithfield Station, to a gourmet bakery and an oldfashioned ice cream parlor. Smithfield’s newest offering is “Taste of Smithfield” – the flagship ham shop and café of Smithfield Foods, headquartered in Smithfield. Begin your visit at Smithfield’s Visitor Center, which shares space with the Arts Center @ 319 where you can chat with a resident artist or peruse the gallery and gift shop. Historic attractions include Historic St. Luke’s Church (c1632), the Old Courthouse of 1750, Fort Boykin Historic Park, Historic Fort Huger, and the Schoolhouse Museum, an AfricanAmerican History Museum of Public Education. And be sure to stop by the Isle of Wight County Museum with its overview of local history, Smokehouse and Civil War exhibits and most notable artifact —the oldest cured ham. Or pick up a map at the Visitor Center for a self-guided Porcine Parade to see Smithfield’s new “herd” of eight pig statues situated throughout the historic district, each statue created by a local artist to reflect the region’s culture and heritage. Plan your trip around one of the many weekly events the area offers—from free outdoor concerts to a seasonal downtown farmers market. You’ll be sure to enjoy your time in one of the most idyllic small towns in the USA—Smithfield, Virginia! Call (757) 357-5182 or (800) 365-9339 or go to www. VisitSmithfield.com.

Anniversary of Adventure Go-Karts Plus Celebrates 25 Years of Family Fun
BuschGardens
Fun for the Whole Family!
It’s been 25 years since Go-Karts Plus opened its doors on the former site of the Great American Water Slide, and in that time it has gone from being a humble two-track park to a hugely popular, multifaceted amusement center. The original park sat on four acres of land and featured two go-kart tracks, bumper boats, Kiddie Land, a small arcade and miniature golf course. Today the “action park of Williamsburg” boasts eight acres, four go-kart tracks, bumper cars, blaster bumper boats, the Python Pit kiddie coaster, the DISK’O thrill ride, an expanded arcade and the brand-new Gold Rush Mini-Golf course. With entertainment suited for all ages, Go-Karts Plus is the premiere destination for the whole family to relax and have a blast. It’s also a perfect spot for birthday parties or other celebrations, and they have great group rate plans. Come celebrate Go-Karts Plus’ 25th anniversary for a fun-filled day of adventure. 6910 Richmond Rd. (757) 564-7600. www.gokartsplus.com ✄

Designer Tom Clark commented that “It is a course of traditional design and with no gimmicks.” The Yorktown provides a perfect complement to the Jamestown. Why You Should Play Here: This Nicklaus Design Associates course was rated by Golf Digest as one of the top 10 places to play in the state.
Why You Should Play Here: Royal New Kent has received a lengthy list of prestigious accolades, including: America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses, Best New Upscale Course in the Nation, 4½ stars for Places to Play, No. 3 ranking in Best in State (all from Golf Digest), No. 15 ranking in 50 Best Public Courses, No. 28 ranking in 100 Best Modern Golf Courses (both from Golf & Travel), No. 23 ranking in Top 100 You Can Play (Golf Magazine) and Modern Classics (Links Magazine). STONEHOUSE 9700 Mill Pond Run, Toano • 757-566-1138 www.stonehousegolfclub.com Another Traditional Golf Properties course, Stonehouse is laid over wild, tumbling hills near the York River. Against the tumultuous backdrop, the danger of deep bunkers and long carries is balanced by the relative safety of broad fairways and enormous putting greens. Why You Should Play Here: Stonehouse also comes with a listing of accolades to be proud of, including Best New Upscale Course in the Nation, No. 6 ranking in Best in State: Virginia, 4½ stars for Places to Play and Good Service Award (all from Golf SECOND EDITION | WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE

Ever since the Jamestown settlers took their first bite of the Chesapeake Bay’s famous blue crab and delectable James River oysters, fine dining has been a top priority in the region. Since then the food scene has evolved tremendously. Cultural traditions have melded to create a truly diverse selection of restaurants rarely found in one area, and top chefs are taking over the Historic Triangle’s dining spots, putting their expert touches on each individual dish. These factors, combined with the copious bounty of fresh seafood and ripe fruits and veggies harvested locally, make Williamsburg a culinary Mecca for five-star dining. Throughout the Historic Triangle, dining options abound, making it an effortless task to find an impeccable meal fit for the most discerning of palates. Embark on a culinary journey through the countries of Italy, China, Japan, France, Mexico, Greece, Thailand and more as you sample authentically prepared dishes made right here in Williamsburg. Many chefs pay homage to the regional treasures that are handpicked from Coastal Virginia’s waters and land. As the seasons change, so do the menus. During the fall months, look for tart apples, a variety of squash from spaghetti to butternut to acorn, spicy arugula salads and dishes boasting an earthy truffle flair—to name a few. Winter’s seasonal menus bring forth goodies such as tenderly sautéed greens, winter squash and flavorful root veggies. Seafood is another commodity that’s harvested locally, and the options for preparation are endless. Take your pick of luscious grilled scallops drizzled with arugula pesto or pan-seared rockfish with lemon beurre blanc. Oysters are one of

The highly distinguished bivalves are served raw with mignonette or hot sauce and a lemon wedge; roasted and topped with butter, bacon and panko crumbs; or breaded, fried and dipped in a delicious sauce. Of course meats are always in season, but there’s a lot more to it than your average burgers and steaks. This category is where chefs perform some of their wildest experimentations, and the results are always extraordinary. Menus boast offerings such as slow roasted pork belly with braised fennel, bacon-wrapped quail stuffed with goat cheese, roasted prime rib with Yorkshire pudding and grass-fed burgers topped with foie gras. Perhaps you’ve got a sweet tooth you can’t seem to satisfy. Williamsburg is known for its divine selection of pastries, tortes and other marvelous confections. Pick up a yummy treat from a divine donut shop or a box of chocolate truffles to enjoy on the ride home.

ferry Jamestown-Scotland Ferry When you ride on the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry, it’s not hard to imagine what the first colonists saw as they traveled on the same river 400 years ago. This 15-minute ride will give you a unique view of the land and connect you to interesting sites along the James River. The first automobile ferry crossing of the James River was made by Albert Jester and piloted by “Captain John Smith” on February 26, 1925. The ferry was 60-feet long and could carry 16 Model-T Fords at a time. The Virginia Department of Transportation took over ferry operations in 1945. Today’s ferry fleet consists of four vessels; the Pocahontas, the Surry, the Williamsburg and the Virginia and can take as few as 28 cars per ferry on the Virginia and up to 70 cars on the Pocahontas. The fleet transports 936,000 vehicles annually and is the only 24-hour state-run ferry system in Virginia. While taking the ferry, you will view from the boat: Historic Jamestown, the first English colony in America; Bacon’s Castle, one of the oldest documented brick houses in English North America; Smith’s Fort, the site of the original fort built by Captain John Smith in 1609 to help defend Jamestown and Chippokes Plantation and State Park, one of the oldest working plantations in existence. The Jamestown-Scotland Ferry is free and located at 16289 Rolfe Highway in Surry, Virginia. For more information visit their website at www.virginiadot.org/ travel/ferry-jamestown.asp, or call 1-800-VA-Ferry or contact jsferryinput@vdot.virginia.gov.
