Relaxing Atmosphere

The colonial American charm of Williamsburg Plantation makes it the perfect spot for a family vacation.
Historic Area
Wondering what you'll do and see in Williamsburg? If you're into history, you'll be in good company! Known as America's Colonial Capital, history abounds in Williamsburg. Colonial Williamsburg, a living history museum, depicts the life and times of Colonial America. At nearby Jamestown Settlement, the story of America's first permanent English settlement (13 years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts) and the Virginia Indians they encountered is told through film, gallery exhibits and living history. Fast forward to the Revolutionary War with a visit to historic Yorktown. In October, 1781, the Siege of Yorktown culminated with the British surrender to American and French forces under George Washington's command ending the six-year Revolutionary War and setting the stage for a new government and nation. Who said history can't be fun? And when in Yorktown, don't miss a visit to the Riverwalk area where you can walk on the beach, visit their antique and specialty shops and experience unique dining opportunities.
Accommodations
Our fully-appointed vacation villas are fully furnished with all the conveniences of home -- plus the graceful details you will find in only the finest resorts. Each one of our villas comes with a breakfast bar and/or dining area and a fully equipped kitchen. Relax with a private whirlpool bath in the master bedroom, as well as multiple TVs located in the living area and master bedroom. Our standard one-bedroom villa (with one queen bed) sleeps up to four and includes a queen-size sleeper sofa for extra guests.

CISA: From the Local Forests to the Floors in Our Homes | Connecting Point | Mar. 6, 2014
Our forests are a natural resource benefitting all of us. They are largely stewarded by private landowners, many of them farmers. The health of this resource makes it possible for a 4th generation, family-owned business, Lashway Lumber in Williamsburg, to source all of its lumber from within 30 miles. They process natural species such as maple, birch and ash, and their sister business, Ponders Hollow in Westfield, turns them into flooring and molding for homes. Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture Executive Director Phil Korman tells us more.
Presidential Park Presidential Field NBC Nightly News March 15, 2016
Presidents Park was a ten-acre sculpture park and associated indoor museum formerly located in Williamsburg, Virginia in the United States. It contained 18 to 20 foot high busts of the 43 Presidents of the United States from George Washington to George W. Bush.
The statues were sculpted by Houston artist David Adickes, who was inspired as he drove past Mount Rushmore when returning from a trip to Canada. The park was opened in March 2004 by local visitor attraction entrepreneur Everette H.Haley Newman III, who had been slowly taking delivery of the busts since 2000. The park had financial troubles, and was closed on September 30, 2010. Creditors finally put the park up for auction (not including the busts) on September 28, 2012 after a foreclosure auction originally scheduled for April 26, 2012 was cancelled without explanation. By January 10, 2013, the busts had been moved to private storage at a local farm by Howard Hankin.

The House of Burgesses
The House of Burgesses was the first assembly of elected representatives of English colonists in North America. The House was established by the Virginia Company, who created the body as part of an effort to encourage English craftsmen to settle in North America. Its first meeting was held in Jamestown, Virginia, on July 30, 1619.
The word Burgess means an elected or appointed official of a municipality, or the representative of a borough in the English House of Commons.
In the 1610s, the Virginia Company of London ended monopoly on land ownership, believing that the colonists would display greater initiative if they could gain ownership of land. The changes encouraged private investment from the colony's settlers, which allowed them to own land rather than simply being sharecroppers. The company designed four large corporations, termed cities [sic], to encompass the developed portion of the colony. Company officials adopted English Common Law as the basis of their system in the Virginia colony, replacing the governor as the final voice on legal matters.
The House of Burgesses consisted of delegates elected by the colonists, and these delegates would meet annually at Jamestown. (In Bermuda, previously part of Virginia, the House of Assembly was created that same year).
Prompted by the Virginia Company, colonial governor Sir George Yeardley helped facilitate elections of Burgesses to this new legislative body, and these elections would[clarification needed] come from eleven boroughs adjacent to the James River along with eleven additional burgesses.
The House's first session of July 30, 1619, accomplished little. It was cut short by an outbreak of malaria. The assembly had 22 members from the following constituencies:
The colony's governor, appointed in London,
The governor's council, a group of six citizens selected by the governor,
The burgesses from various locales, initially larger plantations; counties were included later.
White men over the age of 17 who owned land were eligible to vote.The House was also called the Virgina House of London.
In 1769 the Virginia House of Burgesses passed resolutions (Virginia's Resolutions) condemning Britain's stationing troops in Boston following the Massachusetts Circular Letter of the previous year. They stated that only Virginia's governor and legislature could tax its citizens. The members also drafted a formal letter to the King, completing it just before the legislature was dissolved by Virginia's royal governor.[4] On a less political note among Burgess members, the House of Burgesses passed a series of non-importation agreements as a way of speeding economic recovery and opposing the Townshend Acts.
In 1774 the First Continental Congress passed their Declaration and Resolves, which inter alia claimed that American colonists were equal to all other British citizens, protested taxation without representation, and stated that, without colonial representation in Parliament, Parliament could not tax colonists.
[edit] Meeting placesIn 1699, the seat of the House of Burgesses was moved from Jamestown to Middle Plantation, soon renamed Williamsburg, in honor of King William III. The Burgesses met there in two consecutive Capitol buildings (the first use of the word in the English Colonies). The present Capitol at Colonial Williamsburg is a reconstruction of the earlier of the two lost buildings.
In 1779, and effective in April 1780, , the House of Delegates moved the capital city to Richmond during the American Revolutionary War for safety reasons.
[edit] LegacyThe Assembly became the Virginia House of Delegates in 1776, forming the lower house of the Virginia General Assembly, the legislative branch of the Commonwealth (State) of Virginia.
In honor of the original House of Burgesses, every other year, the Virginia General Assembly traditionally leaves the current Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, and meets for one day in the restored Capitol at Colonial Williamsburg.
In 2006, the Assembly held a special session at Jamestown to mark the 400th anniversary of its founding as part of the Jamestown 2007 celebration.
