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.

Welcome to
Greater Williamsburg
where modern amenities meld with the past
C
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 HistoricTriangle itself is bursting with everything from highend, 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. 14
WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE | FIRST EDITION
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 Greater Williamsburg!

With 10 restaurants, 45 holes of golf, eight tennis courts, swimming pools, a full-service 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. “Questors” from eight to 80 can experience the intrigue of the newest series in the interactive, alternate reality game, “RevQuest: Save the Revolution.” The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg surprise guests with an expansive collection that include decorative and folk arts, including the 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, historic trades and taverns in the colonial capital. Townspeople, tradesmen, shopkeepers, political 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 storms the Governor’s Palace and news of the Declaration of Independence arrives. Buzzing with political discussion and dispute, the city comes alive.

Merchants Square began in 1928 as a vision of revitalization by the son of the Standard Oil CEO John D. Rockefeller Jr. 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. Merchants Square hosts a Farmer’s Market from 8 a.m.–noon once a month during winter with locally produced vegetables, meats, seafood, homemade pastries and eggs. With so much to do and see in Merchants Square, it’s worth spending the day!

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. Don’t forget your camera. Because the history here is life size. And your memories will be even bigger!

The 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. Through living history, film and gallery exhibits, 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 — 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 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. 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. 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 17th-century 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, 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. Admission is $16.75 for adults and $7.75 for ages 6-12. Children under 6 are admitted free.

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 Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists uncover the remains of this first settlement. 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. 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. After a visit to the Archaearium, enjoy lunch on the banks of the James River at the Dale House Café. 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. 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. 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 Preservation Virginia and preserves the site of America’s first permanent English settlement. Admission to Historic Jamestowne also includes admission to Yorktown Battlefield and provides unlimited access to both historic sites for seven consecutive days. The site is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the Visitor Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day).

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 to retire. Washington and Rochambeau

see & do arrived at Yorktown in late September and laid siege to the town. The British surrendered on October 19, 1781, virtually ending the Revolution. To gain an understanding of events that led to America’s war for independence and the development of the new nation, start your tour at the Yorktown Victory Center, a museum of the American Revolution operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. 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, Court Days in September, Yorktown Victory Celebration in October, Foods
sPecial note The Yorktown Victory Center is undergoing a 50 million dollar transformation to offer a renewed perspective on the meaning and impact of the entire American Revolution. A reconfigured site plan will feature a new facility with expanded, vibrant gallery exhibits and enhanced outdoor interpretive programming. The museum continues to welcome visitors daily while work is underway and a new name – American Revolution Museum at Yorktown – will debut upon the project’s completion in late 2016. The Calendar of Events pages list special activities. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; open until 6 p.m. from June 15 through August 15.

As you stroll through historic Yorktown, let the past envelop you and imagine hearing the sound of horse-drawn carriages clip-clop down the street, or the low thunder of tobacco barrels being rolled to the riverfront for transport back to England. Turn a corner and find yourself face to face with an authentic fifes and drums performance. Immerse yourself in 300 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.

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.

Surry County
J
Just a free ferry boat ride away from Jamestown you can find one of the oldest regions settled in the New World—Surry County, Virginia. Once considered an extension of the Jamestown colony, Surry has maintained its rural, agricultural nature and “small town” charm. Discover hidden historical treasures in Surry County such as Smith’s Fort, Bacon’s Castle and Chippokes State Park. Smith’s Fort is located on land that was given to John Rolfe as a Dower tract upon his marriage to Pocahontas by her father, Chief Powhatan. The property also contains original earthworks of a second fort begun by Captain John Smith in 1608, designed to be a fall-back position for the colonists in the event of an attack on the Jamestown fort. Bacon’s Castle,

or the Arthur Allen House, is an original 17th century home and the oldest documented brick house in English North America. It was the site of the first rebellion against British rule, preceding the American Revolution by 100 years! Chippokes State Park is the site of the Jones-Stewart Mansion and one of the oldest continuously farmed properties in the country. The land that comprises Chippokes State Park was a gift to the State in 1969 and contains a campground, river-front beach, hiking trails, and swimming pool. In keeping with Surry’s agricultural heritage visitors can experience life on a farm by visiting some of the area’s pick-your-own farms for fresh fruit, berries and produce grown pesticide and GMO free. College Run Farm and Drewry Farm are a
great place to start your farming adventure. While in Surry, make a stop at Edward’s Ham Shoppe in the Town of Surry for a taste of their worldfamous ham biscuits and specialty products. Also of interest are the Surry Nuclear Power Station Information Center, where guests can learn more about the science of nuclear and solar electrical generation, and Hog Island Wildlife Refuge, where one can catch amazing views of waterfowl, eagles, shorebirds and even upland wildlife species. Whether you come for the fascinating history, the exciting outdoor adventure or a flavorful taste of local products, you’ll find all this and more in beautiful Surry County.

AquaFlight Adventures
G
Growing up as kids, many of us dreamed of flying from one place to the next like one of the superheroes we watched on movies and television. This dream has yet to come true— until now. Home to the highest flying watersport experience, Aquaflight Adventures uses the power of The Flyboard and water to propel you into the air for an exhilarating flight. To prepare yourself to surf the sky, arrive at the Williamsburg flight center 10 minutes before your scheduled flight departure time and meet your flight instructor who will introduce you to the equipment and review the safety instructions. In order to ensure high service standards and commitment to safety protocols, the flight crew is made up of a group of highly trained and professional individuals who are certified pilots and flight instructors. After you have learned all there is to know about your flight, you then don your provided left vest, helmet and safety gear. Once strapped in, you are ready to learn how to control your flight and get the most out of this awesome
experience. Finally, it will be time to jump into the water and fly! The way it works is the thrust from the PWC, or Jetski, is routed through a long hose up to the Flyboard so you can control that thrust to create the type of movement you desire. The PWC does not pull the pilot, but rather follows behind, giving you the freedom to go anywhere you please. The Flyboard has its own buoyancy, giving you more safety and an easier time in the water prior to starting this adrenalinepacked airborne adventure. Whether you dive in and out of the water like a dolphin, do twists and turns in the air, or simply fly straight up and pose for the camera, you will most certainly have a breathtaking and memorable flight. If you become a natural after your first flight, why not become a member? Join the Frequent Flyer Program and receive awesome additional savings. As if achieving free flight wasn’t already enough, the Flyboard is not the only watersport Aquaflight Adventures offers. Aquaflight Adventures is now home to paddleboarding, kayaking, banana boating and the all new ZUP—a specialty designed watersport that allows you to lay, kneel, stand, surf or ride backwards all on one board. Each of these water adventures give you the freedom to experience the Jamestown Beach Park in an adventurous and unique way and will fulfill any latent dreams of possessing super powers! 2205 Jamestown Road.

Heart of Williamsburg
Superior Wine, French Mediterranean cuiSine, and FaScinating hiStory at WeSSex hundred
D
During a vacation to Williamsburg, it’s easy to feel like you’ve stepped back in time by walking the grounds that were first established by the colonists more than 400 years ago. But while perusing Williamsburg’s secluded gem, Wessex Hundred, it’s easy to feel like you’ve traveled to another country as well. In many ways, visiting Wessex Hundred is like journeying to a rural European village. The 300 acres that make up the property hold Wedmore Place, a boutique hotel with 28 rooms, The Williamsburg Winery, two restaurants—Café Provençal and the Gabriel Archer Tavern—and rows upon rows of grape vines, boasting the fruits of some luscious and award-winning labor. But it’s the fascinating history that Wessex holds, reminding us that we’re immersed in the land of our country’s beginnings.
History The property dates back to the Colonial era when the newly-formed Virginia Company sent three ships to the New World to settle an English colony in 1606. Second in command, Gabriel Archer insisted that the land was perfect to call home. The ground was high (easily defendable), and the soil was excellent. He was outvoted, however, and the expedition continued onto Jamestown—and well, you know the story from there. Later known as Archer’s Hope, the farm was subject to the Twelfth Acte of 1619, which indicated that each settler plant at least 10 vines for the purpose of making wine on his property. Imbibers can relive a bit of this history today upon sipping the winery’s aptly named Acte 12 of Sixteen Nineteen Chardonnay. During the time of the American Revolution, the land was owned by Reverend William Bland, a William and Mary graduate, an active member of the community and a frequent patron of Raleigh Tavern, the meeting spot for proponents of independence and fierce debaters. In 1781, combined American and French armies disembarked at the mouth of Archer’s Hope Creek and marched across the property on their way to Williamsburg to rendezvous with the main supply train and the Southern colonial army. From Williamsburg, they headed to Yorktown where the final major military confrontation of the American Revolution would take place.

In the following years, the property had various owners, and the land was used to farm cattle, grain and beans—but our favorite use is that of a vineyard and winery.
Superior Wines In 1983, the Duffeler family purchased the land, and in 1985 they planted the first vineyards, producing the first crush in 1987. The winery’s most popular vintage, Governor’s White, was released in 1988 and was awarded a gold medal within just two weeks. Today it’s 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 the Virginia Governor’s Cup. There are a couple factors contributing to the success of the winery—aside from the excellent terroir that Archer recognized. For starters, classical music plays to the fermenting wine 24 hours a day as it ages. Another factor comes from the winery’s experienced vice president and winemaker, British-born Matthew Meyer. Meyer graduated from the University of California at Davis, one of the world’s premier wine schools, before honing his expertise at two prestigious wineries in Napa Valley, California. He brought his passion to The Williamsburg Winery in 2002 and has been achieving excellence since.
Exquisite Eats There are many enticing foods to pair with the winery’s 24 varietals at the two on-site restaurants, the upscale Café Provençal and the casual Gabriel Archer Tavern. Executive chef for both restaurants, Ika Zaken, works with local farmers markets in order to ensure the freshest ingredients for his astounding dishes. The tavern, ideal for lunch or a mid-afternoon nosh, offers a delightful countryside view of the vineyards and a dining room drenched with sunlight. Choose a glass of wine (you already know the options will be impeccable) and pair with it a charcuterie plate, a handcrafted sandwich or a signature salad. Dinner at Café Provençal is an experience to savor. Start with succulent scallops, dressed with fennel, red onion, bacon and shallot cream and sprinkled with orange

espelette dust. Then dive into a main course of jumbo lump crab cakes, sitting atop manchego polenta and smeared with saffron and pepper aioli. Finally, indulge in a decadent helping of espresso-infused mascarpone mousse, accompanied by chocolate tuile and red currants—just a few of the mouthwatering selections featured on the restaurant’s ever-changing seasonal menu. You may come to Wessex Hundred for an exquisite meal to remember, a tour and tasting of some of their impressive vino varietals or to bring a picnic and walk the grounds that hold some of the richest history around. No matter the reason for your visit, simply come—eat, drink and unwind in Williamsburg’s own European village.
Visitors to the winery can enjoy a tasting with a signature glass to keep for just $6, and for $15, guests can sample the reserve wines. Tours and tastings are offered every half hour for $10. An extensive tour and reserve wine tasting is available for $36 and includes a country sampler of assorted cheese and crackers, as well as an oversized etched reserve wine glass. A tour and tasting with lunch at the Gabriel Archer Tavern is offered for $35 a person. Those who want to imbibe further can hop on the Colonial Virginia Wine Trail, encompassing The Williamsburg Winery, Saude Creek Vineyards, New Kent Winery and James River Cellars.
If you are a fan of high-quality beverages, then you are in the right place because Williamsburg is home to some of the tastiest and well-produced craft beers and wines there is. Gather up the group and head out to one of these local destinations where you can learn all about the production of grapes and hops—and taste them too! Wessex Hundred, home to The Williamsburg Winery, is a 300-acre winery farm offering multiple tours and tastings that include some of the finest wines in Virginia for both reserved and spontaneous visitors. Enjoy rich, red merlot to their awardwinning Adagio to crisp, white chardonnay to pleasantly sweet dessert wines in a beautifully-structured building resembling the authenticity of Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown. For the beer drinkers, be sure to plan a day at AleWerks Brewing Company, a direct fired Peter Austin brew house that produces six types of beers year-round as well as seasonal beers. The AleWerks Taproom offers tasting hours throughout the week featuring 17 beers on tap just waiting to be tasted by those who are seeking fresh, delicious beer and friendly service. Brewery tours are also available serving a variety of craft beers, so put on your drinking boots and come treat at Williamsburg’s only Micro-Brewery! Coming Soon to Williamsburg: Copper Fox Distillery Copper Fox Distillery will bring a new style of whiskey and gin with its specialty made single malt, corn-based gin and rye whiskeys. The owner and the city of Williamsburg hope to have this brewing company churning out booze by the end of the year. But until then, cheers!

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-VAFerry or contact jsferryinput@vdot .virginia .gov .
