Timeless—Elegant—Unexpected—with fun and adventure at every turn, the perfect retreat from the 21st century. It’s no surprise meeting planners report that attendance rises

when they meet in America’s Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The unmatched combination of hands-on history, thrilling theme parks, world-class golf, arts and culture, the outdoors, and fine dining, shopping and evening entertainment will delight your delegates and their families, too.

And, don’t let our size fool you. The Williamsburg area is a major conference destination that has served as host to some of the world’s most prestigious and demanding groups. In January 2006, the Virginia Gubernatorial Inauguration moved to Williamsburg for the first time since Thomas Jefferson’s in 1779. In 2007, capping a year-long commemoration of America’s beginnings here in the Historic Triangle, over 500 leaders from mature and emerging democracies met to explore the future of democratic institutions around the world.

The Business Roundtable, an association of the CEOs of the nation’s 100 largest corporations, has met here annually since 1995. The U.S. Senate Democratic Caucus and NATO’s Defense Ministers also chose Williamsburg as their meeting site. In fact, the very first meeting held in the new world was in July of 1619 in the Church at Jamestown when America’s first legislative assembly met. In January 2008, the Virginia legislature returned to the Colonial Capital for its commemorative session held every fourth year.

We can’t forget those meetings held with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, George Mason and Patrick Henry debating the ideas of liberty, independence and personal freedom that led to the founding of American democracy. And how about that “meeting” between Generals Washington and Cornwallis on the battlefield at Yorktown in 1781? It seems safe to say that meetings here have been known to change “the course of human events.” In 2007, after a 50-year hiatus, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth returned to the Historic Triangle for the 400th Anniversary Commemoration. President George W. Bush also attended ceremonies during the Commemoration year here in Williamsburg.

Over the years, we have enjoyed the honor of accommodating numerous other prestigious world visitors including the late Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Lady Margaret Thatcher, Prince Charles, and more recently Supreme Court Justice and Chancellor of the College of William & Mary, Sandra Day O’Connor, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan. Captain John Smith and the early colonists found their perfect meeting site at Jamestown. Washington, Jefferson and Patrick Henry found theirs at the Capitol and the Raleigh Tavern. You’re sure to find yours here, too.

From five-star luxury to economy-minded properties, from golf courses to the College of William & Mary, there’s an ideal meeting spot here just waiting to welcome you. Discover the story of America’s beginnings at Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, Jamestown Settlement, Historic Jamestowne, Historic Yorktown, the Yorktown Battlefield and the Yorktown Victory Center.

For contemporary fun, enjoy the worlds of Busch Gardens and Water Country USA, and sit back and relax at the Williamsburg Winery. Experience Virginia’s rich heritage and culture at the Watermen’s Museum, James River Plantations and the Virginia Living Museum.

Thousands of visitors come here each year to explore more than 150 factory and designer outlet stores in the Williamsburg area, including Williamsburg’s first indoor shopping mall, The Williamsburg Outlet Mall. From gifts to the latest fashions, Merchants Square offers one-of-a-kind specialty stores, including handcrafted reproductions. Shoppers can find gifts for everyone on their list at New Town, see snow at Yankee Candle and visit the quaint village of Yorktown boasting unique art, antiques and reproductions in a relaxed atmosphere among the historic streets and on the waterfront at Riverwalk Landing.

For those who like to meet on the golf course, America’s Historic Triangle is one of the top 25 golf destinations in the world with 15 championship courses by the game’s top designers. With an average daytime temperature of 70 degrees, Williamsburg is the ideal place for golf year-round. Here are just a few quotes about some of our courses: “one of the top 10 new courses in the United States;” “the highest ranking in Virginia;” “ranked 40th in the top 100 you can play;” “one of the 50 best golf resorts;” and “outstanding… plan your next vacation around it.”

Centrally located on the eastern seaboard, Williamsburg is 150 miles south of Washington, DC, midway between Richmond and Virginia Beach. Easily accessible, the Historic Triangle is served by Amtrak and three major airports: Newport News/Williamsburg International, Norfolk International and Richmond International. Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport, located just two miles from Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, serves private aircraft. Convenient ground transportation including airport shuttles, rental cars and limousine services are available.

The professional meeting planners who read Successful Meetings Magazine have three times voted the Greater Williamsburg Chamber & Tourism Alliance the prestigious “Pinnacle” award for outstanding service. Our job is to make your job easier. From detailed advanced planning to meticulous follow-through, we’re dedicated to making your attendees feel welcomed, pampered and valued. We will distribute your meeting requirements to our 18 conference hotels, collect their proposals for you and forward them to you in one package.

Our meeting and event space isn’t just measured in square footage; it’s also measured by yardage

and number of holes. Once the meeting has concluded for the day, attendees will find that Kingsmill is home to 54 holes of championship golf designed by the likes of Pete Dye, Arnold Palmer, Tom Clark and Curtis Strange. Pete Dye’s River Course has 30 years of memorable PGA and LPGA tournament play, and is currently home to the Kingsmill Championship.

The professional staff of the Kingsmill Golf Academy — ranked as one of the top 25 in the country by Golf Magazine — can customize clinics and instruction for group guests.

The gold course

Introducing 125 acres of majestic woodlands, ravines, rolling fairways and dramatic hazards. This is the Gold Course — 18 holes that Robert Trent Jones Sr. called “my finest design.” Par

from the championship tees is 71 over 6,817 yards. Seven holes pose water hazards. The longest par-5, the 15th, measures 631 yards from the championship tee. The shortest hole, the par-3 16th, plays without fairway to an island green. Equally impressive are the accolades. Golf Digest ranks the course as one of Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s top six designs, and GOLF Magazine listed it in the “Top 100 You Can Play” and selected holes 16 and 17 for inclusion in its ranking of the “Top 500 Golf Holes in the World.” Condé Nast Traveler Magazine named the Gold Course and the adjacent Williamsburg Inn among its choices for the “75 Top Golf Resorts in the World.”

The green course

The Green Course, designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1991, perfectly blends the challenge of championship golf with a spectacular mix of natural terrain that accommodates

varied playing skills. “It’s rugged land, with lots of ravines and draws,” Rees said. “This is a shotmaker’s course.” Offering fairways and rough carved from 250 acres of mature woodland, the Green Course plays 7,120 yards from the championship tees. Water comes into play on six holes, two played over water and four with lateral hazards. No stranger to excellence, the Green Course has been a constant among Virginia’s top 10 courses since it opened for play. In fact, it received 41/2 stars in Golf Digest’s listing of “Places to Play” and was noted in Zagat Survey: America’s Top Golf Courses.

In a place known for history, Kingsmill Resort has made its own, thanks in large part to 54 holes of championship golf.

Kingsmill features three distinctive layouts created by some of golf’s biggest names. Pete Dye’s River Course has 30 years of memorable PGA and LPGA tournament play, and is currently home to the Kingsmill Championship.

Bordered by the James River, the Dye layout contains the intense challenge and variety expected, placed in a setting of lush, rolling hills. Kingsmill’s two other courses underscore the wonderful variety here. The Woods Course, designed by Tom Clark and Curtis Strange, offers a pure golf experience, and its thoughtful mix of holes will test all aspects of your game. Arnold Palmer’s and Ed Seay’s Plantation Course has water hazards on eight holes and plenty of deep woods and ravines to navigate so precise approach play is needed.

Williamsburg National Golf Club has expanded into a 36 hole facility with the recent opening of the Tom Clark designed Yorktown

Course. This addition, along with the Nicklaus masterpiece Jamestown Course, is located just minutes from all hotels in Williamsburg. The Jamestown Course won the prestigious Four Star rating from Golf Digest and was voted as one of the “Ten Best Courses you can play in Virginia.” The Washington Golf Monthly listed the Jamestown Course as “One of the best courses in the Middle Atlantic region.”

Williamsburg National has always been a favorite for groups to host their golf events and/or meetings. Groups have ranged from 140 players to 20 players seeking an afternoon free of meetings. Now that the Yorktown Course has opened along with the recent addition of the Pavilion, Williamsburg National can host up to 260 golfers at one time while enjoying a cook-out for all participants afterwards.

Williamsburg National has also made a commitment to grow the game of golf by hiring a Teaching Professional as well as having a PGA Class “A” Member on staff. Williamsburg National offers multi-day golf schools, group lessons and private lessons, as well as junior golf camps. Please contact the Golf Shop to arrange for any of these services.

Join the Revolution: Become a part of the two-day saga as “The Revolutionary City” comes alive to depict the days, months and years leading up to and during the Revolutionary War.

On Day 1, as “The Old Order Collapses, 1775–1776,” feel the mounting tension as some residents of Williamsburg have a change of heart about their relationship with Great Britain. On Day 2: join the community of Williamsburg as they go about “Building a New Nation, 1779–1781” once the initial sense of optimism, innovation and infinite possibility evaporates amid the harsh realities of war.

Meet the People: As you make your way through the city, meet the real townspeople—loyalist or patriot, enslaved or free, man or woman — who live in 18th-century Williamsburg.

Relive the pivotal battle of the Revolutionary War, the site where the mighty British Army surrendered to the allied French and American forces led by General George Washington. Visit Yorktown Victory Center, which captures the true life drama of the American Revolution through galleries telling the stories of men and women who lived through the war.

Jamestown settlement

P.O. Box 1607 I Williamsburg, Virginia 23187-1607 GPS: 2110 Jamestown Road, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185757-253-4838 I 888-593-4682 I www.historyisfun.org

Jamestown Settlement living-history museum explores the world of America’s

first permanent English colony. Expansive exhibition galleries and an introductory film trace Jamestown’s beginnings in England and the first century of the Virginia colony, and describe the cultures of Powhatan Indians, Europeans and Africans who converged in 17th-century Virginia. Historical interpreters depict 1600s life in outdoor re-creations of the colonists’ fort, three 1607 ships and a Powhatan Indian village. Visitors are invited to grind corn, scrape out a canoe, play period games and try on armor.

Groups can enjoy guided tours, classroom programs, such as “Cultures at Jamestown” or “Voyage to Virginia,” and self-guided visits.

In addition to daytime touring, the museum features dramatic spaces for after-hours private events. The venue is perfect for receptions, special occasions, off-site conference events, reunions, weddings and holiday parties. Whether it’s an evening reception in the rotunda — surrounded by old-English-style wood paneling, copper light fixtures and oriental design carpet,

dinner in the re-created 1610-14 fort, cocktails on the ships’ pier overlooking the James River or an event for up to 4,000 guests using the entire museum, Jamestown Settlement offers unique settings and experiences for a memorable and successful event.

Museum Stores. Jamestown Settlement Café. On-site caterer or select your own. Special programs offered annually. Ample free parking for motorcoaches and cars. All museum areas, except the ships, are wheelchair accessible.

Administered by the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia accredited by the American Association of Museums.

The Yorktown Victory Center living-history museum chronicles America’s

struggle for independence from the beginnings of colonial unrest to the formation of a new nation. A Declaration of Independence Gallery emphasizes the dramatic impact and relevance of this historic document. Exhibits also provide eyewitness accounts of the American Revolution and describe the convergence of forces on Yorktown in 1781 for the climactic military engagement of the Revolution. Outdoors, historical interpreters engage visitors in everyday life during the Revolutionary era. Visitors can muster with troops in a re-created Continental Army encampment to experience a soldier’s life and, on a re-created 1780s farm, help with chores such as weeding the garden and processing flax.

Groups can enjoy guided tours, classroom programs, such as “Revolution and a New

Nation” or “Colonial Medicine,” and self-guided visits.

In addition to daytime touring, the Yorktown Victory Center offers interesting spaces for after-hours private events. The venue accommodates receptions, special occasions, off-site conference events, reunions, weddings and holiday parties. Whether it’s a dinner in the Continental Army encampment or an evening reception in the 1780s Tidewater farm, or on a patio under the stars, the Yorktown Victory Center offers unique settings and experiences for a memorable and successful event.

The Yorktown Victory Center will remain open as it undergoes a transformation and, upon completion, becomes the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. The lobby of the new museum will accommodate up to 400 guests at receptions and 300 for sit-down dinners.

Museum Stores. Select your own caterer. Special programs offered annually. Free parking for motorcoaches and cars. All museum areas are wheelchair accessible.

Between the scenes of the show, dinner is served by a zany cast of characters/suspects who all the while are providing clues to help you solve the crime. You’re given bribe money to entice the characters to give you better clues, and a clue dossier that contains riddles and puzzles that you’ll need to decipher in order to be eligible for our “Super Sleuth” prize. Great idea for reunions, tour groups and conferences. All inclusive rates and group discounts. Weekly, year-round shows.

civil War in Williamsburg

In a harshly fought May 5, 1862 battle, 73,000 combatants met on the very outskirts of Williamsburg for a single day that took the lives of nearly 1,000 men with twice that number wounded. From that day until the end of the war, Williamsburg and its citizenry served under an occupying force. And the line dividing two countries was drawn just north of the College of William & Mary, located in the very heart of Williamsburg.

Plan a visit to Williamsburg and see where battle lines were drawn, defensive positions placed, townspeople cared for the dead and wounded and where daily lives continued to exist even in the turmoil surrounding each household.

Visit our website to learn about Civil War history throughout the Virginia Peninsula.

christmas in Williamsburg

Williamsburg has long been recognized as one of America’s favorite Christmas destinations. Each year, throughout the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg, homes and taverns are decorated in holiday finery. Boughs, wreaths and other decorations are creatively made from all-natural materials.

In Christmas Town, stroll under a canopy of more than two million lights at Busch Gardens’ celebration of the season. Enjoy the shows, foods, sights and sounds of Christmas throughout the park. Visit Santa’s Workshop where you can meet St. Nick himself.

Continue the celebration throughout the Historic Triangle where the season comes alive at Jamestown Settlement and the Historic Yorktown Village. And leave time for that Christmas shopping you have yet to complete.
