Come see where America began.  Visit Jamestown, established in 1607, and site of the first permanent English settlement in the “New World.”  Step back into 18th century Williamsburg, a city restored to the time when it was the largest and most populated of Britain’s 13 colonies.  And walk the road to revolution at Yorktown where our independence was won when General Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington on October 19, 1781, during the American Revolutionary War.
