Williamsburg, VA
The historic city of Williamsburg lies on Virginia's eastern shore on the Virginia Peninsula. As part of the "Historic Triangle," along with Jamestown and Yorktown, Williamsburg witnessed the beginnings of United States history. Founded in 1632, Williamsburg was once the capital of the Virginia colony and is the home of the College of William and Mary, one of the oldest colleges in the country. US history is at the heart of the city of Williamsburg, and William and Mary enjoys the prestige of three U.S. presidents having attended the school.
