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 78 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. goWilliamsburg.com

Go Ape

eaving cobblestone streets are home to quaint specialty shops and eateries. Flowing swiftly nearby, the James River creates a picturesque setting for your visit. Historic finds are at every turn amid the enchanting scenery found in 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 comprised 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; and 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 at the Yorktown Victory Center or exploring and experiencing the daily lives of the settlers at the Jamestown Settlement, including life as a soldier. Have you ever wanted to step into the shoes of a Colonial solider? Now you can! At Colonial Williamsburg’s new musket range, fire off real weapons in true Colonial fashion. Now that you’re inspired and ready for adventure, get acquainted with the famous amusement park, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, with fast-paced

What's New

American Revolution Museum Opens This Year New Museum in Yorktown Will Include More Immersive Experiences

he Yorktown Victory Center is getting a new name this fall along with major improvements and additions. The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, a replacement of the current Yorktown Victory Center, will include indoor exhibits and living history scenes outdoors to create a more interactive experience for its visitors. New exhibits will communicate a national perspective of the Revolution and impart the richness and scale that lies in the era’s heritage. Construction for the 80,000-square-foot American Revolution Museum began in 2012, and it opened in March 2015. Until construction is completed and the museum officially opens late this year, visitors can enjoy the new gift shop and café and view Revolutionthemed films and sneak peaks of exhibits to come. The introductory film and exhibition galleries will debut Oct. 15–16, along with a preview of the museum. The American Revolution Museum will feature expanded galleries, five classrooms for curriculumbased educational programming, visitor services and improved access to outdoor exhibits. The plan also includes space for outdoor special events and increased parking capacity. The museum’s theater will feature Liberty Fever, a new film that introduces visitors to Revolutionary America. The new permanent exhibition galleries, having grown by 25 percent, will feature a more immersive learning experience with dioramas, engaging exhibits and an experiential theater. The galleries will have five major themes: “The British Empire and America,” “The Changing Relationship—Britain and North America,” “Revolution,” “The New Nation” and “The American People.” Moving from indoor to outdoor exhibits via the informational pavilion allows for a more seamless museum experience. Outside, the hands-on experience continues as the encampment will be reconstructed and expanded to a new drill field where visitors can view artillery demonstrations. Adjacent to the encampment, expansion continues with the larger Revolution-era farmhouse, a kitchen, tobacco barn and a new building representing slaves’ quarters.

where historical architecture is home to a modern marketplace

erchants Square began in 1928 as a vision of revitalization by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the son of the Standard Oil CEO. The plan was to relocate the scattered shops in the district to a central location along what is now known as Duke of Gloucester Street, between the College of William & Mary and the Historic District. Merchants Square was designed to incorporate the many perspectives that helped shape the British Colonial and early American landscape, mixing the designs of American architects, such as Thomas Jefferson, with the building influences of Caribbean warehouses. Today, Merchants Square boasts more than 40 shops and restaurants, from Colonial-inspired souvenirs, a classic candy store and a William & Mary campus store, to cooking and kitchen supplies, men’s and women’s fashion, fine jewelry and accessories and quaint bookstores. Local restaurants entice visitors with a wide range of rich and savory entrées for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and some places even provide live musical entertainment for guests to enjoy while they dine. Merchants Square hosts an abundant number of events each week. On Sunday evenings beginning at 6 p.m., The Trellis Bar and Grill invites goWilliamsburg.com

Then, make sure to visit Stefano’s Pizza & Subs for more than a delicious meal; the tunes are there to accompany as well. From April through October, Merchants Square hosts a weekly farmers market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. At the farmers market, you are sure to walk away with the best in locally sourced vegetables, pasture-raised meats, fresh bread, homemade pastries, eggs and more.

Jamestown Settlement A MUSEUM OF 17TH-CENTURY VIRGINIA

t Jamestown Settlement, a living-history museum of 17th-century Virginia history and culture, discover the story of America’s first permanent English colony, founded in 1607 in the midst of Virginia’s Powhatan Indian chiefdom, and the ensuing convergence of diverse cultures, vividly recounted through film, expansive indoor gallery exhibits and outdoor living history. Aboard life-size replicas of the three 1607 ships—Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery— visitors will 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, learn how the colonists coped with an unfamiliar environment and brought English customs, religion, dress, food and building styles to the New World. And, visitors will discover the culture of the Powhatan Indians in a re-created village based on an early 17th-century archaeological site. The museum, operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, is located about a mile from the original site and 10 minutes from Williamsburg.

Make Room for the Memories. An adventure of historic proportion is waiting for you—at two living-history museums that explore America’s beginnings. Board replicas of colonial ships. Grind corn in a Powhatan Indian village. Try on English armor inside a palisaded fort. Then, join Continental Army soldiers at their encampment for a firsthand look at the Revolution’s end. The history here is life size. And your memories will be even bigger! Save 20% with a combination ticket to both museums.

Film and Exhibits Chronicle America’s Beginnings in 1600s Virginia A visit to Jamestown Settlement begins with a docudrama film, “1607: A Nation Takes Root,” that presents an overview of the first two decades of the Virginia colony. A “great hall” spanning the length of the museum’s exhibition galleries provides, with illustrations and text, a chronological journey from 1600 to 1699, when the capital of Virginia moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg. Exhibition galleries – featuring period artifacts, dioramas and short films – chronicle the nation’s 17th-century beginnings in Virginia in the context of its Powhatan Indian, English and west central African cultures. Full-scale dioramas portraying a Powhatan Indian setting and a dwelling in Angola, homeland of the first Africans in Virginia, and an English streetscape all set the stage for exhibits that delve into a vast range of topics, including European overseas trade and colonization, as well as advances in shipbuilding and navigation that ultimately led to the formation of the Virginia Company, the English investment group that sponsored the Jamestown colony. An exhibit gallery featuring a scale model of a 1607 Powhatan community 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 also 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. An object theater chronicles African encounters with Europeans and the development of the transatlantic slave trade. Exhibits also offer 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. Full-scale structures re-created from archaeological sites depict Powhatan, CONTINUED ON PAGE 26 goWilliamsburg.com

Outdoors in the re-created Powhatan Indian village, 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-half-month voyage from England and take part in periodic demonstrations on piloting and navigation, knot-tying and sail-handling. Inside the wooden palisade of Jamestown Settlement’s re-created colonial fort are wattle-and-daub structures with thatched roofs representing Jamestown’s earliest buildings including dwellings, a church, a storehouse and an armory. Interpreters demonstrate activities typical of daily life during the 1610–1614 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: grind corn, help make cordage and pitch corncob darts in the Powhatan Indian village and, in the fort, try on armor or play a game of quoits. Special events and programs include “Military Through the Ages” in March, “Jamestown Day” in May, “Historic Trades Fair” in June, “American Indian Intertribal Powwow” in October, “Foods & Feasts of Colonial Virginia” in November and “A Colonial Christmas” in December. Through December 10, 2016, visitors can view the special exhibition, “Bartering for a Continent: How Anglo-Indian Trade Shaped America.”

Visitors Interact With Historical Interpreters in Outdoor Settings The living-history Continental Army encampment and Revolution-era farm continue as an integral part of the museum experience. An informational pavilion will assist visitors with the transition from indoor galleries to the outdoor areas, where they will engage in an array of hands-on activities, from military drills to watering and weeding crops. The encampment and farm are undergoing reconstruction and enhancement to support the new gallery storylines and expand capacity for visitorparticipatory demonstrations. The encampment, which represents a portion of an American regiment and includes tents for soldiers and officers as well as surgeon’s and quartermaster’s quarters, is adding a drill field and an artillery demonstration area with tiered seating that from the outside looks like a redoubt. Situated just beyond the encampment, the farm will have a larger house, kitchen and tobacco barn and a new building representing quarters for enslaved people, along with crop fields, corncrib, kitchen garden and orchard. A specific 18th-century York County family has been identified to serve as a frame of reference for historical interpretation. Special events and programs include “Liberty Celebration” in July, “Yorktown Victory Celebration” in October, “Foods & Feasts of Colonial Virginia” in November and “A Colonial Christmas” in December.

SEE & DO

Historic Yorktown I

mmerse yourself in this charming riverfront village and enjoy lodging in a hotel or bed and breakfast nestled among the village streets and paths or overlooking the York River. Here you can experience worldclass history by visiting many 18th-century homes, the location where the surrender terms for the Battle of Yorktown were negotiated and the home of the commander of the Virginia militia with its walls still bearing the scars of cannonballs fired upon the village in 1781. Explore the battlefields, fortifications and historic buildings where American independence was won. Be sure to see the monument commissioned by the Continental Congress in 1781 and completed in 1884 to commemorate the victory at Yorktown and to memorialize those who lost their lives for freedom. Picturesque streets are the backdrop for art galleries and specialty shops. Visit the museums offering hands-on programs and exhibits. Stroll along

the scenic riverwalk and relax on the sandy beach at river’s edge. Take a ride on our free trolley, then march to the beat of The Fifes and Drums of York Town. Relax and enjoy the riverfront and its charming 18th-century ambiance and reflect on the events that led to the creation of a new nation. Dine at one of our one-of-a-kind restaurants, all with a beautiful view of the York River offering seafood, artisan pizzas, burgers and more. When the sun goes down, don’t miss a sunset sail on the York River aboard the Schooner Alliance (April–November) or a pirate adventure cruise during the day with the kids (May–Sept.). A visit to Yorktown is a must-see for anyone who wishes to fully understand the story of our nation’s birth. Americans won their independence here during the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War on October 19, 1781, when British troops surrendered to General George Washington and his French allies. Yorktown played a very important role in American history. Today, Yorktown is joined by the scenic Colonial Parkway to Williamsburg and Jamestown and is located just 12 miles east of Williamsburg. It remains much as it was during the waning days of the Revolution. Although Yorktown is best known as the site where America won its independence, you can be sure that no battles are being fought here today, which leaves Yorktown a charming and peaceful riverside village. Whether it’s reliving the chronicles of America’s struggle for independence, touring the historic homes and battlefields, visiting our museums, taking a leisurely stroll, a trolley tour, watching a fifes and drums parade, enjoying the many unique outdoor, shopping and dining experiences or just relaxing by the river, Yorktown has something for everyone. Plan to stay overnight or longer at a hotel, bed and breakfast inn, or guest cottage overlooking the water or up the hill in the village. Yorktown is a year-round destination for history, outdoor recreation, fine dining, unique shopping and special events. For information about Yorktown and seasonal special events, see the website at www.visityorktown.org.

Yorktown Battlefield J

amestown 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 15-minute film, The Siege at Yorktown, discusses the importance of the battle, and an exhibit focuses on the 1781 Siege of Yorktown, the Battle of the Capes and British General Cornwallis’ campaign tables used during the siege. 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. Park brochures, maps and audio tours are also available for a self-guided driving tour of the battlefield and encampment areas as well as a 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 opportunities when you visit the National Park Service Visitor Center, or call 757-898-2410 for dates and hours. goWilliamsburg.com

SEE & DO Williamsburg Farmers Market

Markets to Love DISCOVER LOCALLY GROWN AND UNIQUE, CRAFTED TREASURES AT AREA FARMERS MARKETS

elebrate fresh, locally grown produce and handcrafted goods from the devoted and talented farmers and artisans of our region. Stretching from Smithfield to Williamsburg and the surrounding areas, farmers markets abound to bring you seasonal goods and the latest creations, such as handmade candles and soaps, for you to bring back home. In addition to local goods, there are often fun activities for all ages that are sure to keep the whole family entertained when at the market. Williamsburg Farmers Market in Colonial Williamsburg’s Merchant Square is a local favorite. With 40 vendors, the market focuses on produce, prepared food and agricultural products. The market operates every Saturday, serving anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 people each week. When you visit

Williamsburg’s farmers market, you’ll meet the farmers themselves every Saturday during April–Oct. from 8 a.m.–noon. They also host a winter market, seasonal markets and a holiday market in December. Williamsburg does not allow reselling, so the people who grow and produce the products are the same people who will be selling them. This makes your shopping experience even more personal if you have a question about the products—the seller is the farmer! Look for fresh bread, pasture-raised meats, organic produce and other fine products. Holly Fork Farm in Barhamsville is a hub for a farmers market, a pumpkin patch, a farm and an ideal place for kids. Visitors of all ages can come see the animals, and coming this fall is the Holly Fork Farm Express. With the express, barrel train cars will be available for kids to ride around the farm. This all-in-one farm also hosts farmers markets throughout the year. Featuring

only the highestquality products, the Summer Twilight Market is held the third Thursday of July and August from 4–7 p.m. With something for everyone, Holly Fork is the perfect place for some old-fashioned family fun. Hours vary throughout the season, so visit HollyForkFarm.com for more information. The James City Bruton Farmers Market is nestled across the street from the James City Bruton Volunteer Fire Department in Toano. It’s open daily, 24 hours a day, year-round, and vendors can come and go as they please. The farmers market runs off of the honor system. Vendors are asked to give the fire department—the landowners—10 percent of their earnings, but never more than $25. Expect the freshest offerings and most authentic products since produce must come straight from the farmer and products must be handmade.

This New Attraction Offers Visitors A Unique, Adrenaline-Filled Night Out The walls seem to be closing in—there’s no way out. You’re trapped. Your heart speeds up as you frantically search for a way to escape. The clock is ticking. Think... think... your brain goes into problemsolving mode as you search the room around you for anything that will help you get out. This isn’t a preview for a new movie; it’s an experience at Room Escape Williamsburg. At this new, exciting attraction, teams race against the clock, solving puzzles and unlocking codes to escape the room they’re trapped in or to complete the mission, using only logic, common sense and teamwork. Room Escape Williamsburg is perfect for date night, team-building outings and tourists, and it offers a new experience outside of the usual dining, movie or bar scene. It’s also a great outing for

families, as it doesn’t require physical activity, and there’s no fear factor. Visitors choose between three rooms—the Aztec Temple, the Bank Heist and the newest room, Contagion. In Contagion, a terrorist group has unleashed a deadly virus around the world. You are on a team sent to the lab to find the cure before it’s too late. Once you’ve deciphered the scientists’ notes, you’ll find the cure to save the world. Participants have 60 minutes to find the clues, solve the mystery, and complete the challenge. Whether you beat the clock or not, you’ll have a great time engaging with your team in a fun, exhilarating way. Do you accept the challenge? —Carly Stunda

LOCAL LEGENDS

Local Legends

Crim Dell Bridge

williamsburg is known for spooky myths and unique traditions Echo Spot in Tyler Garden Located in the Tyler Garden on the College of William & Mary campus is a tradition that only a handful of people know about outside of the student population. Known as the Echo Spot, this circular brick corner of the garden has three statues directly next to the other, each with bronze busts representing a member of the Tyler family. If you stand here, with your back toward the statues, and speak, you can hear a strange acoustic sound as if your words are being reverberated. Some say this sensation is similar to the statues talking back to you.

Flying Fireball at Bacon’s Castle In the fall of 1675, the Virginia colonists witnessed a comet with a tail of fire following directly behind. They believed the comet would haunt them for years to come for it was an omen cursing the area. Today, witnesses claim that the ball of fire raises from the Old Lawne’s Creek Church cemetery,

then slowly drifts north. Another witness saw the ball circling his bed and then flying out the window. What causes the light at Bacon’s Castle? No one has yet to know.

The Mother-in-Law Tree In 1687, the Harrisons betrothed their daughter Sarah to a young man she was not fond of. Sarah rebelled against her parents’ demands and married James Blair, whom her parents did not approve. Her mother swore she would continue to ruin their relationship until they separated. Sarah died in 1713 and James in 1743. They were buried next to each other in Jamestown. Within a year after their burial, a sycamore tree started to grow directly in between their graves causing Sarah’s tomb to be pushed 7 feet. After several occurrences, the caretakers of Jamestown gave up on trying to remove the tree from in between Sarah and James’ graves, so the tree is still there today.

Lord Botetort Statue During Norborne Berkeley’s—4th baron de Botetourt—time as governor, the people of the Virginia colony were very fond of him, and a statue was built in his honor at the Old Capitol building, which was purchased by the College of William & Mary in 1801. It is a tradition to dress up the statue for every holiday.

Crim Dell Bridge The Crim Dell Bridge is a wooden bridge on the campus of the College of William & Mary and is considered one of the area’s most scenic views. Rumor has it that if two lovers cross the bridge with one another and kiss at the crest, they will be together forever. But if that couple separates at that point instead, then the lady must throw her ex-lover into the water and break the curse of being single forever. It is also said that if someone crosses the Crim Dell Bridge alone, they will be alone forever.

making history one glass at a time

illiamsburg has been getting rather crafty, and we’re talking about brews, of course. The craft beer community has grown tremendously on the East Coast in recent years. In 2012, there were nearly 40 breweries in Virginia, and now—just a few years later—that number has grown to over 100. Continuing the trend of handcrafted brews, Williamsburg has its own unique contribution to the craft beer world. In 2006, the heart of Williamsburg welcomed Alewerks Brewing Company, a brewery devoted to crafting traditional, yet standout ales. Now celebrating their 10th anniversary, Brewmaster Geoff Logan and his team of brewers and packing professionals continue to serve the community of Williamsburg nearly 30 different styles ranging from ales to porters, which are produced year-round, to seasonal offerings, such as their Bitter Valentine. When you step into their taproom, you’re greeted by warm smiles from a knowledgeable staff ready to introduce you to

your new favorite brew as you sample from 10 rotating taps of a wide range of styles. At Alewerks, there’s always something new to try whether it’s their Pumpkin Ale or their Bourbon Barrel Porter aged in oak bourbon barrels, a brew from their Brewmaster Reserve series. Then when you need a snack to assist the sips, order one of their melt-in-your-mouth, homemade, half-pound soft pretzels. If you’re looking to expand your beer knowledge, Alewerks offers daily brewery tours of their facility—with the exception of Sunday—which allow guests to explore the history of beer and the brewing process. In addition, Alewerks hosts special beer release events and is also present at many beer festivals throughout the Commonwealth. With brew names inspired by our colonial features, Alewerks is a no-brainer of a choice when you’re looking to imbibe along the fine beer route. A brewery inside a brewery, The Virginia Beer Company’s large-scale, 30-barrel production brewing system in addition to the smaller scale, five-barrel system allows for regular beer experimentation to produce limited edition brews along with their year-round offerings. The Virginia Beer Company plans for a new beer each week to keep customers on their toes. Along with the selection of eight beers on draft in the taproom, at least four will rotate on a regular basis. A unique business is making its own headlines on Monticello Avenue. Silver Hand Meadery had its grand opening during March of 2016, and people are already buzzing about it. Silver Hand produces the first and only varieties of mead in Williamsburg, which is created by fermenting the sugars found in honey and adding herbs, spices and fruits to create unique flavors. Though this is a more nontraditional libation, clearly mead is on its own delicious playing field. The meadery has its own retail space, where customers can choose from varieties of honey and treat themselves to a cinnamon honey stick. Silver Hand is too sweet to pass up. Brass Cannon Brewing will soon be opening in Williamsburg. Brass Cannon, named in reference to Williamsburg’s colonial history, prides itself on its synchronization of new and old—classic techniques mix with new flavors to create a truly impressionable brew. The move from Toano to 5476 Mooretown Road will come with an upgrade to a 20-barrel brewing system, an expanded tasting room and an outdoor beer garden. An expansion from Sperryville, Copper Fox Distillery creates handcrafted whiskey with its own twist in Williamsburg. Copper Fox is the only distillery in North America that hand-malts their own barley, flavoring it with apple and cherry wood smoke. Visitors to the Williamsburg location can experience the newest flavoring—peach wood. Once flavored, it’s then aged with new and used apple wood and oak chips inside bourbon barrels. More than a spot to taste fine, handcrafted whiskey, it’s an experience not to be missed, with suites on-site for visitors to stay, participate in the production process and taste whiskey.

Wining and Dining During a vacation to Williamsburg, it’s easy to feel like you’ve stepped back in time as you traverse the grounds that were first established by the colonists more than 400 years ago. It was during this time that the state of Virginia signed into a law known as the Twelfth Acte of 1619, which indicated that each settler plant at least 10 vines for the purpose of making wine on his property. Unfortunately, not much came of it. However, Thomas Jefferson had more faith in Virginia soil and decided to cultivate European grapes in his Monticello vineyard. It wasn’t until wines were made from Native American grapes that positive results started to show. Over time, more and more wines produced in Virginia became acclaimed; Vienna World’s Fair of 1873 named Norton the “best red wine of all nations.” Today, with nearly 300 wineries and counting, among dozens of wine trails, Virginia has grown to be a well-known area to produce wine alongside California, New York, Washington and Oregon. In 1983, the Duffeler family purchased the Wessex Hundred, a 300-acre property 64 WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE | SECOND EDITION

DINING home to the Wedmore Place (a boutique hotel with 28 rooms); The Williamsburg Winery; two restaurants—Café Provenҫal and The Gabriel Archer Tavern; and rows upon rows of grapevines, boasting the fruits of some luscious and award-winning labor. With the farmland being subject to the Twelfth Acte of 1619, imbibers can relive a bit of history today upon sipping the winery’s aptly named Acte 12 of Sixteen Nineteen Chardonnay. Their Governor’s White, released in 1988, is the best selling wine in the Commonwealth, and The Williamsburg Winery has established itself as the largest winery in Virginia—as well as the most visited. The most recent accolade came in 2014 when the winery’s 2010 Adagio was awarded winner of the Virginia Governor’s Cup. As you explore outside of the city of Williamsburg, the Virginia winery destinations continue. Located in Lanexa on the Pamunkey River is Saudé Creek Vineyards, a winery home to mineral-rich soils and food-friendly wines. The site was once home to Frank’s Tavern, which served as a popular pub and lodging house for the wayfarers traveling through Williamsburg. It is told that a few of the regulars here were George

Washington and French General Rochambeau. Saudé Creek Vineyards’ log cabin appearance and holiday season feel are perfect for those looking for a relaxing and cozy wine tasting experience. From their light-bodied Riesling, crisp with a smooth finish, to their sweet Squire’s Blend offering light honeysuckle notes, you will surely find one you love. Although New Kent Winery, nestled in the countryside between Williamsburg and Richmond, was constructed in 2008, the design was meant to resemble earlier times. The winter lodge exterior is just as unique as its 17,000-squarefoot tasting room is decorated with historical material from preserved buildings and structures dated over a century old. Using state-of-the-art wine production equipment from various countries around the world, New Kent Winery’s traditional features reflect a time when winemaking was just getting started in Virginia. The classic, Southern-style wraparound porch and high ceilings make you feel right at home as you sip from a selection of eight handcrafted wines including varietals from Chardonnay to Meritage.

By re-examining William Still’s The Underground Railroad and using relevant archival material relating to the port of Philadelphia, two main uses of waterways becomes apparent; the individual hiding on commercial passenger steamers and captains of small vessels bringing groups of slaves northward. This paper focuses on one steamer, the City of Richmond, as its career parallels the issue of the fugitive slave between the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861. 2:30–3:30 p.m. MarinersMuseum.org

When an artifact is made up of multiple materials that cannot be separated, usually a combination of metals and organics, conservation treatment of these composite artifacts becomes more complicated. This presentation will discuss research being conducted in the USS Monitor Conservation laboratory on the treatment of composite artifacts. 2:30–3:30 p.m. MarinersMuseum.org

10: Civil War Lecture Series: “Gibraltar of the Confederacy: Fort Fisher” with John V. Quarstein, Director, USS Monitor Center & Foundation Wilmington, North Carolina on the Cape Fear River was perhaps the most effective blockade runners’ port—trading cotton and tobacco for munitions, medicines, clothing and other war material. Located 29 miles upriver from the Atlantic Ocean, it was defended by a series of forts of which the most important was Fort Fisher. Named for Colonel Charles Fisher of the 6th North Carolina, who was killed at 1st Manassas, the fort was the largest seacoast earthen fortification in the world. The Federals endeavored to capture the fort 23–27 December 1864 by a joint operation commanded by Major General Benjamin Butler and Rear Admiral David Porter; yet, the expedition failed. A second amphibious assault descended on Fort Fisher on 13–15 Jan. 1865. This assault successfully closed the last port available to support the Confederate armies in the east. 2:30–3:30 p.m. MarinersMuseum.org

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; as few as 28 cars per ferry can be taken on the Virginia and up to 70 cars can be taken 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-VAFerry or contact jsferryinput@vdot.virginia.gov.
