The 1776 Commemoration Offer

Your room at The Williamsburg Lodge sits steps from the very streets where 1776 unfolded—where voices rose, ideals clashed, and a new nation was imagined. Here, history won't just be pages to read or landmarks to visit...it's something you'll wake up to each day of your stay. After days spent walking the same paths as the Founders, return to refined comfort, colonial elegance, and hospitality worthy of the story that began here.

Engage with Nation Builders who bring the world of 1776 into the present—interpreters who embody the people, debates, and daily decisions that shaped a new republic. Through conversation, storytelling, and immersive programming, you’ll encounter the ideas that defined an era and the questions that still shape the nation today.

Here, history isn’t performed at a distance. It’s experienced face to face—inviting you to listen, question, and reflect, just as people did more than two centuries ago.

In the 18th century, taverns were more than places to dine—they were gathering places where news traveled, opinions formed, and ideas took hold. Today, Colonial Williamsburg’s historic taverns invite you to step into that tradition.

By candlelight and hearth, enjoy thoughtfully prepared fare inspired by the period, served in spaces where conversation once carried as much weight as the meal. It’s an experience that connects you not just to the food of the past, but to its culture of connection.

Even in revolutionary times, balance mattered. At The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg, relaxation draws inspiration from historical traditions—reimagined for modern comfort.

Just beyond the Historic Area, Golden Horseshoe Golf Club offers a different kind of escape. Set against rolling Virginia landscapes, it invites you to slow your pace and enjoy the land much as generations have before—through fresh air, open space, & time well spent.

Here, recreation isn’t a departure from history. It’s part of the experience.
