I went to this next attraction back in 1996, and this place is a must-see attraction for anyone who loves history. The closest attraction I can compare this attraction to is our Greenfield Village in Dearborn. Still, Williamsburg was a real city back in the 1700s, where Greenfield Village are houses from the 1800s to early to mid-1900s that were disassembled in other states or nearby cities for instance, and then reassembled there at the village.
You will find that Williamsburg was the Capitol of Virginia from 1699 to 1780. Williamsburg's historic area includes 89 original 18th-century buildings and hundreds more buildings that have been reconstructed based on historical records and archaeological research. The historic area of Williamsburg is One Mile Long and 1/2 Mile Wide, but not everything is open all the time, plus some of the buildings there are still private residences. You need to walk the entire length of the Duke of Gloucester Street, where all the sidewalks there are red bricks where you will see most of the main attractions. So, look for the Grand Union Flag; it shows that a building or location is open to the public.
