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

FIRST EDITION | WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE 13

Welcome to Greater Williamsburg WHERE MODERN AMENITIES MELD WITH THE PAST

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.

Gardens Williamsburg, with fast-paced roller coasters, a world-class entertainment scene and a guaranteed full day of fun for all ages. This year, feast in a new international market-style restaurant featuring delicious Italian, Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. Das Festhaus welcomes a new craft beer room serving 30 regional and local craft beers, and audiences can join in on a new evening show offering a modern twist on the beloved tale, The Three Musketeers. While Busch Gardens does have a great selection of souvenirs, the Historic Triangle itself is bursting with everything from high-end, luxury boutiques to 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 dream. Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf developed a new app that can be used on smartphones. As players traverse the course, the app coincides with each hole and provides pirate tales and jokes, illustrations and information about the buccaneers' tools of the trade. The app also offers a convenient scorecard option for players to keep score on their phones. Information on how to access the app can be found at the Pirate's Cove starter house—come try it today! 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 that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Istanbul Restaurant offers the best in Greek, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Turkish fare serving everything from lentil soup and stuffed grape leaves to babaganush and an assortment of kebabs. If you’re craving a French-infused menu, make your way to Corner Café, where you’ll find their housemade Niçoise salad, beef bourguignon, crepes and more. Then toast to your vacation over a glass—or two—of wine made right here at the Williamsburg Winery. If beer is more your thing, imbibe with a brew at Alewerks Brewing Company or The Virginia Beer Company. End your eating frenzy on a sweet note by indulging on the luscious cupcakes from Smallcakes. Taste from their fourteen flavors offered daily including lemon drop, wedding cake and peanut butter cup, but when you want to mix things up, three specialty flavors rotate each day—think stuffed French toast. When the sun goes down, allow a mystery to unfold while you’re served a four-course meal at Mystery Dinner Theater in Fort Magruder Hotel. Then, don’t forget to stroll along the Historic Area’s five newly up-lit iconic buildings including the Governor’s Palace, the Magazine, Courthouse, Capitol and the Public Hospital. So here’s to a vacation full of family fun, fine dining and fabulous shopping—all intertwined throughout Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.

Welcome to Greater Williamsburg!

sst, there’s a new educational musket range set to open in Colonial Williamsburg this spring. Joseph Straw, Public Relations Manager of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, tells us that guests ages 18 and over will be able to partake in this new and exciting educational experience. The ticketed attraction will span 90 minutes, where “guests under the direct guidance of a facilitator will have the opportunity to learn about, handle and operate replica 18th-century firearms,” Straw says. The firearms will be smoothbore muskets, which are hunting pieces based on the “Brown Bess” land-pattern design used during the Revolutionary War. In addition, the range boasts six outdoor lanes featuring period-style sheltered stalls along with an area for firearms and materials to be stored, which is only utilized when the range is in operation. The area is fenced in by 10-foot earthen berms on each side with 20-foot earthen berms placed behind each target. Straw expects participants to be transported to and from the range via shuttle van from a site near the Historic Area. Program prices have yet to be determined. “The educational musket range is one in a series of initiatives aimed at reimagining the experience we provide our guests, whether longtime neighbors or visitors from around the country and world by providing an enhanced, more engaging and hands-on experience,” Straw says. “The Foundation was grateful for the community’s overwhelming support for the plan and approval.”

Colonial Williamsburg where the idea of america comes to life for citizens of all ages in new and engaging ways

ith 10 restaurants, 45 holes of golf, eight tennis courts, swimming pools, a fullservice spa, bicycle rental and walking trails, 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. The art museums of Colonial Williamsburg surprise guests with an expansive collection that include decorative and

folk arts, including “Lock, Stock and Barrel,” an outstanding display of military and civilian weapons exploring muzzle-loading firearms, ignition systems and the evolution of the standing British infantry musket before 1800. “Thunderbirds: Jewelry of the Santo Domingo Pueblo” is an exhibition of jewelry made during the depression from fragments of stones, pieces of plastic and car batteries—all include the thunderbird motif. Guests of all ages will want to meet Colonial Williamsburg’s new canine mascot, Liberty, a Briard dog who can be seen walking and greeting guests on Duke of Gloucester Street and visiting Colonial Williamsburg hotels.

The Revolutionary 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, historic trades and taverns in the colonial capital.

figures, women and slaves share their hopes, struggles and fears in these uncertain pre-war times. The challenges of daily life are set against the backdrop of revolution, an angry mob storming the Governor’s Palace and news of the Declaration of Independence arriving. Buzzing with political discussion and dispute, the city comes alive. Back again this year is “Dig! Kids, Dirt & Discovery,” a program that allows kids to conduct a real archaeological dig under the direction of Colonial Williamsburg archaeologists. The program begins the day after Memorial Day and runs through Labor Day.

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. Children enjoy marching with the Fifes and Drums of Colonial Williamsburg, learning how to hold their weapon as newly enlisted members of the militia, helping with daily household chores, playing games colonial children enjoyed or creating their own folk art to take home. Guests can discover what goes on behind the scenes at the Rockefeller library, object conservation and educational outreach facilities to provide guests an authentic experience and tour the costume shop, where each item of clothing worn by actor interpreters in the Revolutionary City are sewn by hand. Guests can learn about the archaeological finds that informed the rebuilding of the Public Armoury. There are a variety of daily activities to customize and complement each visit. From a romantic carriage ride to an in-depth look at art exhibits, guests can discover unique and unforgettable Colonial Williamsburg experiences. After the sun goes down, dining, music, dancing, games, shows and ghostly tales abound and are worth a visit well into the evening. Five iconic buildings in the Historic Area are now lit, revealing their architectural beauty while adding light, and offer an enhanced guest experience. Adult costume rentals are now available at the Visitor Center and the Market House near the Magazine.

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. Every Friday at 6 p.m., goWilliamsburg.com

The Trellis Bar and Grill’s Jazz on the Half Shell event invites you to listen in on a local musician while sampling signature cocktails and fresh local oysters. On Wednesday evenings during the months of July and August, bring your lawn chair and a picnic to Merchants Square’s Summer Breeze Concert Series, where bands perform a variety of genres from pop to dance. 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.

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.

A MUSEUM OF 17THCENTURY VIRGINIA

he 1607 founding of America’s first permanent English colony in the midst of Virginia’s Powhatan chiefdom, the ensuing convergence of diverse cultures, and the evolution of the colony throughout the 17th century are vividly recounted at Jamestown Settlement, a museum operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. Located about a mile from the original site and 10 minutes from Williamsburg, Jamestown Settlement tells the story of America’s beginnings through film and gallery exhibits and outdoor living history. Aboard life-size replicas of the three 1607 ships—Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery—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 17th-century 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 pre17th-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. An object 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. Full-scale 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 17thcentury 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-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 are engaged in a variety of 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 17thcentury reproduction items used in Jamestown Settlement’s outdoor living-history program. You are invited to grind corn, help make cordage and pitch corncob darts in the Powhatan Indian village. In the fort, you can try on armor or toss 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. Jamestown Settlement, located on Route 31 South, is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and until 6 p.m. from June 15 through August 15. You should allow three hours for your visit. 2016 admission is $17.00 for adults and $8.00 for ages 6–12. Children under 6 are admitted free.

Yorktown Victory Center a museum of the american revolution

n 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 the British fleet outside the Virginia Capes and forced it

10am-6:30pm Monday-Saturday 11am–5pm Sunday at the Yorktown Victory Center, a museum of the American Revolution operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. The Yorktown Victory Center is undergoing a transformation with an imposing new facility, expanded gallery exhibits and enhanced outdoor interpretive programming, and will be renamed American Revolution Museum at Yorktown in late 2016. The museum continues to welcome visitors daily during construction. Indoors, theater films dramatize the final military campaign of the Revolution and explore the American ideal of liberty. A timeline corridor provides a visual journey from the 13 British colonies in the 1750s to westward expansion of the new United States in the 1790s. The museum’s living-history program offers visitors the opportunity to experience Revolutionary-era life firsthand in re-creations of a Continental Army encampment and farm. In the encampment, historical interpreters explain medical and surgical practices and the role of the quartermaster in managing supplies. Soldiers demonstrate how to fire a musket and recruit and train “volunteers” for positions on an artillery crew, then fire a very loud artillery piece. At a Revolution-era farm, complete with a house, kitchen and tobacco barn, visitors can help the costumed historical interpreters tend seasonal crops and vegetables and lend a hand with daily chores, such as cooking, laundering and preparing flax for cloth. 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. Yorktown Victory Center, located at 200 Water Street, is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and until 6 p.m. from June 15 through August 15.

mmerse yourself in this charming riverfront village filled with years of history, 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 many 18th-century homes, visit 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 quaint restaurants, many with a beautiful view of the York River. 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 with the kids (May–September). 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 riverwalk stroll, a trolley tour, watching a Fifes and Drums parade, enjoying the many unique 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, shopping, outdoor recreation, fine dining and special events.

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

LOCAL LEGENDS

Local Legends myths and traditions of williamsburg 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.

DINING

Brews, Wine & Dining, Too making history one glass at a time Williamsburg 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 short four 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 thirty different styles ranging from ales to porters, which are produced year-round, to seasonal offerings, such as their Pumpkin Ale. 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 ten rotating taps of a wide range of styles. At Alewerks, there’s always something new to try whether it’s their Chesapeake Pale 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. New to Williamsburg this spring is The Virginia Beer Company comprised of a craft brewery, beer garden and taproom focusing on a small, high-quality lineup of products. The team of brewers are making history in their own way through the use of environmentally sustainable equipment and an exciting rotation of limited edition beers to pour for the Williamsburg community 64 WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE | FIRST EDITION

and its visitors. In the 10,000-square-foot facility, The Virginia Beer Company will feature a 30 barrel brewing system, a 5 barrel pilot system, a 2,000-square-foot taproom and an additional 2,000-square-foot outdoor beer garden. Up to eight beers will be on draft at a time, and the brewers hope to release a new brew on a weekly basis in addition to the four beers that will be brewed year-round. It is here that both visitors and locals alike can enjoy a pint of finely crafted beer indoors or outside in the beer garden against the background of our splendid city. Plan your visit to The Virginia Beer Company and help make history!

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. goWilliamsburg.com

DINING In 1983, the Duffeler family purchased the Wessex Hundred, a 300-acre property 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. 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. 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.

Quarstein, Director, USS Monitor Center & Foundation The advent of ship-mounted artillery, as proven during the 7 October, 1571 battle of Lepanto, proved the power of musket and cannon over ram and crossbow. It was Confederate Secretary of the Navy, Stephen Russell Mallory who recognized that if you built a shot-proof warship, it would be capable of ramming enemy ships without fear of destruction. Consequently, rams became a feature in every Confederate warship and influenced ship design until the introduction of the HMS Dreadnought in 1906 which featured long range heavy (10-inch) guns.

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.
