Williamsburg is a wonderful city that offers the benefits of small town living as well as the cultural benefits of a thriving college town. Over half of the population of Williamsburg is comprised of students attending the College of William and Mary, which was established in 1693. Adjacent to the college is Colonial Williamsburg, a beautiful place filled with history, excellent cuisine and regal shopping. Colonial Williamsburg is the world’s largest living museum, which was initially financed by the Rockefellers. Williamsburg has a thriving tourist industry and its continued relationship with James City County has made it a popular place to live and raise a family. There are many landmarks in Colonial Williamsburg, but the most notably the Governor’s Palace, Colonial Capitol building, the Courthouse of 1770 and Bruton Parish. In addition to Colonial Williamsburg, the Williamsburg area encompasses several attractions including the Yorktown Battlefield, Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, the Jamestown Settlement, a strand of outlet malls, and the Berkeley Plantations, the most historic plantation on the James River.

Fast becoming one of the nation’s top golf destinations, Williamsburg boasts more than a dozen courses designed by some of the most notable architects. Choose from the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club, the Anheuser-Busch Kingsmill Resort, Kiskiack Golf Club, Tradition Golf Club at Stonehouse, or Williamsburg National for your next golf outing.
