The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Virginia

A great idea for a field trip is The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Charter a school bus for a fantastic class trip. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation operates the worlds largest living history museum in Williamsburg, Virginia. The restored 18th century capital of Britains largest, wealthiest, and most populous outpost of empire in the New World. Here we interpret the origins of the idea of America, conceived decades before the American Revolution. The Colonial Williamsburg story, Becoming Americans, tells how diverse peoples, having different and sometimes conflicting ambitions, evolved into a society that valued liberty and equality. Americans cherish these values as a birthright, even when their promise remains unfulfilled.
In Colonial Williamsburg’s 301 acre Historic Area stand hundreds of restored, reconstructed, and historically furnished buildings. Costumed interpreters tell the stories of the men and women of the 18th-century city, black, white, and native American, slave, indentured, and free and the challenges they faced. In this historic place, we help the future learn from the past. Colonial Williamsburg actively supports history education in schools and homes by engaging in a wide variety of educational outreach programs and activities. Through books, videotapes, recordings, and other media, Colonial Williamsburg presents the stories, words, and music of the 18th century.
