School Field Trips

Colonial Williamsburg has been a premier school field trip destination for over 70 years. Your students will step into the capital of Virginia in the 18th Century and walk along the same streets as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Patrick Henry. Through immersive experiences, students explore daily colonial life, meet a diverse population including tradespeople, free and enslaved individuals, American Indians, and the founders of American Democracy. Students will investigate how concepts of self-government, rights, and civic responsibility emerged right here in Virginia’s former capital city.
