Williamsburg Student Trip

Virginia’s Historic Triangle is one of those sweet destination memories. It takes you back to lazy summer family vacations or first-time middle school field trips with friends.  But if you haven’t been there recently, it’s time to take a fresh look at this ‘olde’ favorite. Let’s plan your student trip to Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown.

Area Highlights

Williamsburg

Williamsburg is a charming spot on the Virginia Peninsula.  Its nearly 325 years of American history are evident in its shell-covered streets and 88 original 18th-century structures that make up Colonial Williamsburg.  The quaint town shops, magnificent College of William & Mary campus, and outdoor adventures beckon student groups to explore another time and place.

Jamestown

Jamestown Settlement is a magnificent living history museum tucked into the woods along the James River.  As America’s first permanent English settlement established in 1607, it has quite a story to share!

Yorktown

Yorktown rounds out the trifecta of historic highlights with the impressive American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, Battlefield Visitors Center, and a stunning riverwalk that’s easily accessible via a free trolley.

The American Revolution Museum

The American Revolution Museum allows students to explore life in the latter part of the 18^th century.  They’ll see firsthand how a typical 1780s Tidewater Virginia farm operated. Or they can take on the role of Private and learn what it took to survive in wartime.
