This is awesome. Just found the chan. Planning on going to the historic triangle this winter....it makes sense for a history major like myself. 🤓

You are going to love it. It is truly one of my favorite historical areas. Watch our review of Jamestown (there are 2 locations, the actual archaeological area and the recreated museum), and then Yorktown!! It is so fun to drive the battlefield, make the drive out to Washington’s camp! You won’t be disappointed!! Thank you for watching.

Bit late to the party here, but anyway - as an Aussie that English part of the old American flag is refered to as the Union jack. But thanks for the video - I love it. Would love to go for a look in person one day.

@@WalkwithHistory - what can I say I love a good bit of social history like this. Each to their own but 1 knows the potholes in their local area are bad when they want to bring back the stockings loooooool. I love the stockings / tights especially on boys and young men. Bring them back.

Carriage ride was beautiful Has to be reserved in person for that day. You can pick time slot. They can sell out in the first 15 mins of opening. 10-4pm every 20 mins going around a loop. If you are staying in their hotel, concierge can reserve it for you. Got there before the doors open and reserved my ride for 60$ for 2 person open carriage. You can ask what type of carriage are available but seem like they also consider size of your party. Dont forget to take pictures before you get off at the end. The gentleman took some very nice photos of us in the carriage in different angles.

You are 💯 correct on that! We just stayed there this past weekend (video coming) and I barely got a carriage ride…but we got one. Great tip!! 😁🙌🏻

So beautiful! You may have said, if you did, I missed it. But can you go through it in a day or should you really plan on more time to adequately experience everything?

I would honestly say there’s enough for a solid 2 days (if you go to some of the museums there too). One day would be a tight fit to try and see everything 😊

Just a warning, if you're looking for a true depiction of Colonial history, watch for the agenda to turn it into a history of slavery. I'm certainly not in favor of slavery, but I recognize the danger of "presentism" (forcing current understanding on characters of the past.) This wasn't as bad as Monticello but I did learn to be choosy about tours.

One of my favorite vacations! Another top tip: if you stay at Colonies at Williamsburg, be warned! This is a lovely property. We stayed there in 2019. A warning! Please do not get snagged by the Concierge. She or he will offer you tickets to Old Williamsburg for just 90 minutes of your time. We fell for it. We were lied to by our sales agent Jackie, convinced to buy and now we our out $45K, all of our savings. My husband is a 100% service connected Vietnam Vet. I have been contacting the CEO's of VV for months with no response. Enjoy the property but go through Airbnb or some other rental and do not buy!!
