Since the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg began in the 1930's millions of visitors have come to this town in southeastern Virginia for a taste of life in Colonial America.  Today "interpreters" in period costumes reenact bits and pieces of living in the pre-Revolutionary War era.  Visitors to Williamsburg can walk the streets of the historic district without charge, but admission fees are required to enter buildings and attend some performances.  TheRealPlaces offers a guide to hotels near Colonial Williamsburg, as well as nearby attractions such as The College of William and Mary, Busch Gardens amusement park, and Kingsmill Resort.
