“Throughout our history, Americans rethought our roles as citizens, and we must continue to do so today. How better to do so than to visit America’s birthplace? . . . This book will get you started on your journey and keep you thinking about our nation’s journey long after you’ve visited Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown.”
- From the foreword by Sandra Day O’Connor
Just in time for the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has published a comprehensive guide to the “Historic Triangle.”
It was in 1607 at Jamestown that John Smith and his fellow Englishmen established their first permanent settlement in North America. It was here that Smith met Pocahontas, that the first representative assembly in the New World convened, and that African slaves arrived. It was in Williamsburg that men like George Washington, Patrick Henry, George Mason, and Thomas Jefferson conceived a new nation. And it was at Yorktown that French and American troops under Washington’s command forced the British surrender and won the nation’s independence.
For the millions who will visit in 2007 and beyond, here is the book that will let you make the most of your visit – and remember it for years to come.
- What happened here . . . and why it matters.
- What to see and do at Historic Jamestowne, Jamestown Settlement, Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown Battlefield, and Yorktown Victory Center.
- Other historic sites and area attractions, including Busch Gardens and Water Country USA.
- Hotels, restaurants, shops, recreation, and all the practical information you need to make the most of your trip.
