Pillow Fighting 101

This picture is what a vacation in Williamsburg is all about. After a long ride, waiting to get checked in and unloading the car––kids cannot resist the sheer joy of bolting thru the hotel room door and giving that bed the true test. In a way it’s the first really fun thing the kids get to do on vacation, and we absolutely love it. On page 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

Welcome to Greater Williamsburg W

WHERE MODERN EXCITEMENT MELDS 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 England were kindled in Williamsburg; and where one of the most critical of all Revolutionary War battles was waged along the waters of Yorktown.

14 WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE | FIRST EDITION

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 American Revolution Museum at Yorktown 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 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 roller coasters, a worldclass entertainment scene and a guaranteed full day of fun for all ages. This year, Busch Gardens’ first wooden roller coaster opens. InvadR will thrill guests with its 74-foot drop, reaching speeds of up to 48 mph. 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. By this time, you’ve probably 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.

Reading The Buildings the chesapeake house uncovers the true art of fieldwork done by colonial williamsburg historians and provides a new view of early american architecture

arl Lounsbury is used to letting folks down gently. “Their buildings are often not as old as people think,” Lounsbury, senior architectural historian at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, says about people who send the museum photographs of their houses. “We urge them to do it, but it can be disappointing to them. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had to give the bad news: ‘No, George Washington did not live in your house or stay there.’” The College of William & Mary history professor and his accompanying team of historians are so seasoned and battle-tested that not only can they tell you whether Ol’ George stayed in your crib but also the likely room where he ate his supper. The team of experts, has surveyed hundreds of houses, structures and plantation foundations from across the region. Their groundbreaking research has been compiled into a new book, The Chesapeake House. Beautifully designed with hundreds of photographs, period landscape paintings and floor

plans, The Chesapeake House isn’t just a coffee table tome about the Coastal Virginia region’s stately buildings, it’s a look at the CW Foundation’s ongoing puzzle-solving. The Chesapeake House is filled of mysteries like that, scraped away like paint until a garish glaze of truth, a secret nail, a loose piece of wallpaper, is revealed. “Sometimes when we go look at these old buildings,” Lounsbury says, “We think we know what the story is, but the more we look the more confused we get.”

The Real Early Virginia: Much Less Grand Than What You See At Colonial Williamsburg Here’s some bad news right off the bat: Early Virginia was not exactly like the scenes you see depicted at the many restored residences overseen by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, which was founded in 1927 by John D. Rockefeller to help preserve the original architecture of the region. Co-editor Cary Carson, the retired vice president of Colonial Williamsburg’s research division, breaks it to us gently in The Chesapeake House introduction: “Millions of visitors to Williamsburg find it hard to forget the handsome public buildings where so much American history took place.” But, he adds, time travelers would also encounter “other landscapes,” less familiar to today’s tourists—a countryside populated with ordinary people on smaller farms, modest houses, ramshackle buildings—structures that had less of a chance to survive than the houses of the local grandees, which make up most of the Colonial Williamsburg experience today. “We sort of dissect it like a forensic crime investigator,” Graham says. They tease out the structure’s sequence of development—what did it originally look like, how did it change? “And then we want to figure out why it changed—why people made the decisions that they made.” Usually, he says, there’s a pattern to these changes—a societal pattern. Buildings were usually designed by the clients themselves, and in a very traditional way. Lounsbury: “A tobacco planter would call up a carpenter and say, ‘Build me a house like Mr. Smith’s house over there.’ And carpenters would build the same way from one house to the next until someone told them something differently.” All of the little details make up the Chesapeake House’s evolution. “Especially the timber framing, the way Chesapeake carpenters framed their houses was certainly far different than anywhere else—New England, Old England, Ireland, South Carolina. And it finally evolved into a peculiar regional form that addressed distinctive needs.” “It wasn’t like they were starting new with new ideas,” adds Willie Graham, who knows a little about timber framing. “They were basically in the wilderness. It was physically different. Initially there just wasn’t room for lavish building because the structure had to be efficient and quickly erected.” By the middle of the 17th century, virtually all planters, rich and poor, were building some version of what they first called the Virginia House. “They still had wind chimneys and dirt floors,” Graham says. “But by the 18th century, they’d created an efficient way to use the materials on hand, particularly wooden materials.” Construction became, as Lounsbury says, “a matter of technology, materials, climate and attitudes toward building.” Concerning the latter, the mindset of our forebears is often reflected in their construction habits. “The early settlers encountered an environment that was difficult and actually detrimental to their health so that they didn’t have great prospects for living long lives.” The result was that they would build cheap houses to just last their lifetime. “But not build for the future.” So when settlers started to build better homes in the New World, it showed that they were here for the long haul. “In the beginning, they were just trying to survive,” Graham says. “But certainly by the second quarter of the 17th century, there are people coming here to stay.” You can read it in their houses.

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 goWilliamsburg.com

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 you to listen in as The Hark plays rocking tunes to start your week off. From March through November, 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. With so much to see and do while in Merchants Square, it’s worth spending the day!

Jamestown Settlement A

A MUSEUM OF 17TH-CENTURY VIRGINIA

t Jamestown Settlement, a living-history museum of 17thcentury 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 to the New World. Visitors will also discover the culture of the Powhatan Indians in a re-created village. The museum, operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s JamestownYorktown Foundation, is located about a mile from the original site and 10 minutes from Williamsburg.

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. 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. 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.

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 Indian 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. Interpreters demonstrate activities typical of daily life during the 1610–1614 time period 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 darts in the Powhatan Indian village and, in the fort, try on armor. 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. Opening July 15 through January 28, 2018, visitors can view the special exhibition, “Pocahontas Imagined.” 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.

The living-history Continental Army encampment and Revolution-era farm continue as an integral part of the museum experience, and newly expanded and reconstructed interpretive areas will debut this spring 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, allows visitors to join costumed historical interpreters on a drill field and in an artillery demonstration area with tiered seating that from the outside looks like a redoubt. Situated just beyond the encampment, the farm features a larger house, kitchen and tobacco barn and a new building representing quarters for enslaved people, along with crop fields, corncrib and kitchen garden. A specific 18th-century York County family serves as a frame of reference for historical interpretation. The museum’s inaugural special exhibition, “AfterWARd: The Revolutionary Veterans Who Built America,” opening June 10 through November 27, 2017, explores the post-war stories of veterans of the Siege of Yorktown and how they went on to shape the America we know today. A series of plays, performances and public lectures June through November complement the special exhibition. 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.

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

Go back to a simpler time, where the modern hustle and bustle of everyday life melts away. Colonial Williamsburg is a must-do for any visitor coming to the area. Men, women and children dressed in colonial attire roam the streets as you explore your way through this 18th-century restored city. These colonists, shopkeepers, blacksmiths and farmers look forward to sharing their lifestyles and stories with you and your family and are always looking for a helping hand from the young guests! Relaxing and educational experiences abound in the Greater Williamsburg area. Explore nearby areas such as the Jamestown Settlement where kids can climb into a sailor’s bunk, steer with a whipstaff, or simply wander through one of the three re-created ships that brought the first English colonists to Virginia in 1607. Expand your child’s knowledge of Pocahontas and her fellow tribe members as you and your family stroll through the Powhatan Indian Village and interact with historical interpreters demonstrating how they would survive on a daily basis. A great way to get to know Williamsburg is to take a peaceful stroll down sidewalks and cobbled streets. Be sure to take time to visit the nearby towns, full of shopping, dining and beautiful surroundings. Enjoy dinner outside in Merchant’s Square, browse the unique shops in New Town or find a new appreciation for art in Smithfield. Music and the arts have the power to bring peace to any soul. If you enjoy live performances, soothing jazz, plays or featured films, then make your way over to Merchants Square. Here you will find inspiring performances as well as special events and thoughtprovoking movies. With a theatre hosting special events throughout the year, there is always a chance to witness inspiring creativity right before your eyes. After all that walking, be sure to book a session at a local spa, providing a relaxing experience, the perfect cap to a fun-filled vacation.

Many, if not all, have a wide variety of GREAT food for under $10. Blackened Catfish, Grilled Salmon Salad, Ribeye Steak Sandwich and other daily specials are just a few of the mouthwatering items you might see on the menu at one of our locally owned and operated Pancake Houses. Say no to “fast” food and drive-thrus. You’re on vacation. Sit down, relax, drink from a glass, eat with metal utensils off of ceramic plates in a comfortable chair or booth, and let the friendly waitstaff take care of you—probably faster than you would expect. You deserve it. goWilliamsburg.com

Today, the “action park of Williamsburg” boasts eight acres, four go-kart tracks, bumper cars, blaster bumper boats, the Python Pit Kiddie Coaster, the DISK’O thrill ride, an expanded arcade and the Gold Rush Mini-Golf course, featuring an authentic western wagon, water tower and mine shaft.

Looking Back the not so ancient history of williamsburg

ost people who come to Williamsburg have an idea about its history. Visitors come to see the 18th century buildings, the folks in historic dress wandering the streets and to learn more about the significance of the Revolutionary period in American history. If you dig a little, you may even know about how the Rockefeller’s came to town in the 1920s, restoring these important, historic locations and reestablishing Williamsburg as a living history museum. But to the people who call this place home, Williamsburg is more than its Colonial past. It’s a place where folks live their everyday lives. Williamsburg may be a city deeply rooted in its past, but it’s also a town in motion, looking forward to a bright future. If you want to learn about a place, speak to the people who know and love it. Doug Pons and Greg Granger are second generation Williamsburg residents. They’re also second generation hoteliers and prominent, local businessmen. Pons serves on the city council, and both men take an active role in shaping the city. They also happen to be life-long friends, their parents being William & Mary classmates. Over the last fifty years, they have seen Williamsburg transition from a small-town where everyone knows each other, to the burgeoning community it is today. The Williamsburg of Granger and Pons’ youth was a post-Rockefeller tourist hub. During the 1950s and ‘60s, the “explore America” vacation model was in full swing. Families were taking their kids on road trips, visiting national parks and historic locations. Williamsburg was abuzz with just such vacationers. The boys grew up among a bustling tourist industry. It was all about “the columns and the Colonial flair and that flavor that people believed you would find in Williamsburg,” says Granger. Yet even with the flux of tourists coming and 56 WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE | FIRST EDITION

going, the town still possessed a small-town feel. These hotels served as jobsites for the two young men. Pons worked for his father, making beds and learning the hotel industry. Granger got his first job mowing grass at the local Days Inn. Both boys got into mischief, hopping the fences of the nicer hotels, pretending to be guests so they could swim in the pool. Greg even bought a necklace for his first date from Doug’s dad at the nearby Hospitality House. For them, Williamsburg wasn’t a stuffy, colonial museum—it was a living, breathing community. “What I really loved was that it was a small town,” says Pons. “You had connectivity to so many people. I think I knew everybody in my graduating class of 350 people at Lafayette— and there was only one high school then.” What’s now high-end shopping on Duke of Gloucester Street and Merchants Square, was just the main street of Doug Pons and Greg Granger’s childhood. They bought their clothes at the local Roses department store and watched movies at what is now Kimball Theatre.

“Everything that was on Duke of Gloucester Street was relevant to all of the residents of Williamsburg,” explains Pons. “You went to worship, you went to shop,” Granger adds. “Daily life happened there.” As the years went by, more and more people saw the potential that Williamsburg possessed. Immigrants from countries such as Greece and India saw the town as a place where, with hard work, they could make lives for themselves. “They’d write home,” explains Pons, “and they’d say, yes, this is a great place, and they will treat you well. If you work hard you can make something happen. And they did it.” These first-generation immigrants started out washing dishes and bussing tables, barely speaking English, and are now prominent citizens in Williamsburg with multiple businesses. Williamsburg itself is only nine-square miles, so growth has always been limited. What most people think of today as Williamsburg is actually James City County. In the early 1970s, this county was mostly wooded areas and farmland with a population in the 10,000 range. goWilliamsburg.com

The Foundations of James Fort are Discovered

The transition from its rural roots happened, as Doug Pons explains, “when James City County got beer and Busch Gardens.” Not only did AnheuserBusch bring the famed theme park, attracting more visitors than ever, they also built the Kingsmill Resort. “As that developed,” continues Pons, “it created an employment population, so other jobs started to grow.” Thus, James City County was developed, expanding the Greater Williamsburg area with more homes and businesses. James City County now has a population of around 90,000. As development continued, the population of the city of Williamsburg started to grow as well. “You used to know everybody,” says Granger. “Now it’s hard to know everybody in town.” Because of this, many of its original residents have started moving away because, as Granger explains, “Williamsburg has lost what they consider to be Doug Pons and Greg Granger

It’s not the same town.” Although both Doug Pons and Greg Granger loved the Williamsburg of their childhood, they’re excited about the direction the city is moving in. “The hometown feel has kind of gone away,” says Pons, “but at the same time we had to evolve— the way we lived and our economy. If you’re not growing you’re dying. The community has grown.” Pons foresees that Williamsburg is on the cusp of some new and exciting changes. “It seems like we’re on a 50-year investment cycle. The Rockefeller’s came in the ‘20s. Fifty years later then Anheuser-Busch showed up and Busch Gardens, and so we had that major investment. So, we’re due for another investment and turnaround.” When asked what they think the next big Williamsburg attraction may be, Granger links it to the evolution of the family vacation model. The family vacation is not so much “go and learn about America and go to this really cool theme park.” The busy families of today are taking their kids on the sports trip. “Our kids are plugged into sports,” says Granger, “we’re excited about it. We want to support them.” That’s why they’ll go on weekend or week long vacations, centered around the kids’ tournaments or sporting events. With that in mind, both Granger and Pons think that the development of a multi-purpose fieldhouse or convention center would bring an influx of these type of travelers to the Greater Williamsburg area.

Talk of this is still in the speculative phase, but it’s an exciting idea that’s getting a lot of buzz. However, development in Williamsburg is tricky, Granger says. “Trying to make sure that you meet the demands of today’s world while keeping the charm of yesterday’s world is so hard.” Pons continues, “As a lifelong resident of Williamsburg and a current city council member, I think that’s one Sports-Centric Vacations of the things that Could be the Future of I feel responsible Tourism in Williamsburg for—trying to maintain our nine square miles. We try to protect that with smart development and with some oversight.” Both Doug Pons and Greg Granger are excited to be a part of the Williamsburg of tomorrow. The time is ripe to see the city transition into something new and exciting, while still maintaining its historic appeal. “It’s time for a refresh,” says Pons. “The future is bright for the city. It’s time for that next generation look at things.” —Rebekah Conley FIRST EDITION | WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE 57

For a lot of a history, a lot of charm and a lot to offer, step into Lightfoot Manor Shoppe located on Route 60, approximately a halfmile east of the Premium Outlets.

The Williamsburg Tasting Trail

experience williamsburg through your palate

here’s a new way to experience Greater Williamsburg, but one could say that it’s as old as this historic region. While early settlers were building forts and establishing their presence in the area, they also brewed their first beers and planted their first vines. They believed that alcohol had many beneficial purposes. Besides being a clean source of water, they believed it had healing properties and provided energy to the body. One could say that the Williamsburg area is not only the birthplace of America, it’s where we first learned to drink.

Drink culture is a rising trend in Williamsburg. In the last year, many new producers of fine alcoholic beverages have been opening their doors and welcoming patrons to imbibe. It’s not about getting drunk, but experiencing high quality, handcrafted beverages produced by pioneers in their field and sharing this experience with others. The enjoyment of these beverages is both a social and flavorful experience. Enter the Williamsburg Tasting Trail. This one-of-a-kind

experience is a way to explore the best alcoholic beverages in the Greater Williamsburg area. The beauty of the tasting trail is that awardwinning wine, excellent brews and more are all centrally located in the Greater Williamsburg area. Newbies and connoisseurs alike create their own tasting trail experience. Explore the deep history of Virginia wines stretching back more than 350 years. Discover Williamsburg’s growing craft beer industry. Or if you want it all, take in a sampling of everything—wines, beers, meads and spirits. Visit one or visit them all, it’s up to you! And because each location has been carefully selected, you know that you are sampling the best of the best. Visitors to Greater Williamsburg are raving about the tasting trail. This is the perfect opportunity to try something new or indulge in a decadent extravagance. Plan a romantic getaway with your spouse. Or make it a relaxing weekend with friends. This is also your chance to pick up a few bottles of excellent wines, brews and spirits to take home as gifts (or keep for yourself).

Establishments of the Williamsburg Tasting Trail The venues chosen to be a part of the Williamsburg Tasting Trail were carefully selected. Each winery, brewery, distillery and meadery chosen had to display a dedication to their craft, constantly perfecting and improving their methods. They also had to meet the highest

With 16 beers on tap daily, visitors are sure to find something they love at Alewerks Brewing Company. Be sure to grab a delectable halfpound soft pretzel with your lager. The Virginia Beer Company knows that nothing goes better with an ice-cold brew than food trucks and corn hole. Then there’s the experimental Brass Cannon Brewing Co. Alongside the classics are the Langrage Line, small batch brews with weird yet delectable combinations. The great thing about these breweries is the ability to sample.

Grab a burger at a good ole American eatery, or get a slice at one of the many pizza places. If the kids are really hungry, head to an all-you-can-eat buffet, where you’ll leave full and happy. The sun begins to set, and your exciting day of adventure in Williamsburg is coming to a close. But don’t call it a day yet! It’s time for dinner, and boy does Williamsburg know how to do dinner. If its ethnic fare you’re craving, you are in luck! Williamsburg has everything from Italian and Mexican to Korean and French, and tons of choices in between. If you’re looking for a night out without the kiddos, the cobblestone streets, street lamps and terrace dining, give the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner for two! Area bars and taverns are opened late, so don’t just turn in early! Grab a pint or a delicious cocktail and pair it with some amazing eats.

Every good meal should end with a sweet morsel. Most area restaurants offer incredible dessert options, from bread pudding to New York cheesecake. There are also candy stores which offer delicious fudge, classic candy apples and old fashioned hard candies. Williamsburg is an epicurean wonderland. If you’re of the adventurous sort, be sure to research ahead of time and plan your own dining tour. An appetizer here, sharing an entrée there, grabbing a scrumptious dessert—that way you won’t miss out on the many delectable offerings. If you don’t feel like doing the work yourself, then turn to Taste of Williamsburg. They offer a savory walking tour, stopping in at nearly ten eateries for a sampling of some of the area’s best bites. Learn more at www.TasteOfWilliamsburg.com.

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. FIRST EDITION | WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE 85
