Colonial Williamsburg

Celebrate 250 years of freedom in the place where it all began with a year of spirited events, groundbreaking advances, and one-of-a-kind experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

In spring, Colonial Williamsburg will open the state-of-the-art Campbell Archaeology Center, bringing our archaeology program to visitors like never before. In May, we commemorate the Fifth Virginia Convention, the pivotal event that seeded the Revolution. The city streets will come to life during our military encampment weekends, where talented reenactors participate in the action of recreating 1776.

We will celebrate the nation’s birthday with a grand celebration in July, in partnership with VA250, followed by a series of family-friendly weekends. In the fall, we will dedicate the African Baptist Meeting House and Burial Ground in partnership with the Let Freedom Ring Foundation, at the site of the original permanent location of one of the earliest African American congregations in the country.

Here, when you ask a question of history, it answers back. Visit and be a part of the story. Your group of 15 or more can get a taste of what Colonial Williamsburg has to offer with an experience designed to fit the requirements of day-trippers, groups on tight schedules, or those who want a more structured experience.

James Monroe’s Highland

Highland was a working plantation in early America, and home to scores of enslaved men, women, and children. From 1799 to 1826, it was the sporadic residence of fifth president James Monroe.

For years, public understanding of the site relied on incomplete evidence—so much so that a good deal of Highland’s story remained hidden! Now historians and archaeologists are peeling back the layers of mystery and misunderstanding to uncover more of Highland’s past.

George Washington’s Mount Vernon

The estate of our first president, George Washington, is open daily and is just outside of Washington, D.C.

2026

In 2026, visitors to George Washington’s Mount Vernon will see a transformation inside the first president’s home. Most of the Mansion’s rooms will have been updated with striking new wallpaper and paint colors to reflect recent research, resulting in a home more closely resembling its appearance in 1799, the last year of George Washington’s life.

In spring 2026, Mount Vernon will unveil a revitalized George Washington exhibit in the Education Center. This updated space will focus on why Washington matters today and how the decisions he made in his lifetime continue to impact us in the 21st century.

The Revolutionary War 4D Theater, where cannons fire and snow falls every day, and the Be Washington leadership experience will also reopen in 2026.

Mount Vernon’s 18th-century Continental Army encampment, Patriots Path, will return for 2026. Guests can explore the soldiers' tents, an officer's marquee, the kitchen, and the laundry yard, and learn what life was like for an 18th-century soldier.
