Can anyone suggest a real nice and clean hotel near the Williamsburg Winnery?
The Marriot is about 4 miles from the winery and is very nice, but the town is also filled with tons of less expensive hotels, or if you prefer even better than Marriot try the Willamsburg Lodge also about 5 miles from the winery
To enable you to find the things you want to see in Colonial Williamsburg you need to pick up a Visitor's Guide with a detailed map, either from a tourist information office in the area or from the Visitor's Centre at Colonial Williamsburg.
I live in Williamsburg, so I have tons of memories, but what I will use this space to tell you is how much you will love Williamsburg. You have never been on a vacation that had this much to offer you and your children. It's fun, it's educational, it's romantic...It really has everything.
In this day in age, it's hard to find activities for your entire family to do together that don't involve a TV or computer. Come to a place where TVs haven't been invented yet. You will be amazed by what your child--or you for that matter--retains just from walking through the colonial area. When he to the blacksmith, makes a mudbrick with his or her own hands, and watches the Patrick Henry deliver his Liberty or Death speech.
There was a costumed young woman playing these square letters/words on my picture in colonial Williamsburg. The toy was used to learn words in 18th century.
As I remember well a word square was found in the Roman ruins of Pompeii, Italy now. So, word squares go back to ancient times. By the way, someone called Williamsburg, the Pompeii of America. Well, it was cultural, political and educational center of the wealthiest and most populated colony in America - Virginia in times when the new nation was in the process of creating.
Williamsburg has a very extensive rare breeding program on going to preserve the livestock of its past. They believe that the American Cream is the only draft breed to originate in the United States that would have been well suited for this area. The breed descended from a draft type mare with an outstanding cream color. ‘Old Granny’ (the first registered American Cream) appeared at a farm auction in Story County, Iowa in 1911. Her foaling date has been placed between 1900 and 1905. She was purchased by a well-known stock dealer, Harry Lakin, and began to foal several cream colored colts on the Lakin farm, all of which sold for above average prices.
I found these horses crazing ever so happily in a field and I was drawn to them, of course. You could tell they were being taken care of, because their coats just shined.
I found a few interesting (for history fans only) commemorative plaques hidden inside the Bruton Church, not at all off the beaten paths but easy to skip.
The most impressive one, white and marble was affixed to church wall in 1907 "To the glory of God and commemorative of the first legislative assembly held in America, which met in this county, in the church at Jamestown, on July 30, 1619". Enlarge my picture to read more.
There are two smaller plaques affixed to next wall: one in memoriam of World War I and II, the other one "to the glory of God and in memory of the Speakers of the House of Burgesses (7 names).
Another plaque is put in memory of Charles Washington Coleman, M.D. (1826 - 1894) who was a vestry-man and senior-warden of Bruton Church and "long our beloved physician).
And one more plaque with writing "In Memory of the Confederate Soldiers who fell in the Battle of Williamsburg May the 5th 1862 And of those who died of the wounds received in the same. THEY DIED FOR US."
