Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia is rich in colonial history and provides a multitude of photo opportunities. Colonial Williamsburg was originally built in 1699 and has a long history of restoration. The history of Colonial Williamsburg is brought to life by historians, historical reenactments and architects. It’s a great place to visit if you love history and want to learn more about one of the early settlements of the United States. Colonial Williamsburg is fun for all ages, and has surrounding attractions like Busch Gardens to make it a family-fun vacation destination.
I have been going to Colonial Williamsburg since I was about 6 years old, and have always enjoyed taking pictures throughout the historical area. This particular trip in October of 2020 was rainy and foggy for much of the trip, but I honestly loved the vibe I got from the pictures I took. The rain and fog made the Fall colors stand out even more than if it had been sunny, and the pictures have a dark, moody aesthetic to them.
A few of my favorite places to stop at in the historic area are the Millinery Shop, the Governors Palace & gardens, the Cabinet Maker and the Tin & Blacksmith shops. Also, going for a ride in one of the horse drawn carriages is a must. Just outside of the historic area are some really great shops and restaurants; Aromas World is a great local coffee shop. The College of William and Mary is also just outside of the historic area, so its a great opportunity to walk the grounds and explore this historic college.
I hope you enjoy the pictures below!
