2026 Toolkit

Celebrate 250 years of liberty
in the city that sparked it.

The revolutionary spirit of the 18th century lives on at Colonial Williamsburg — through bold ideas, groundbreaking preservation, hands-on education, and dynamic civic engagement. As we celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary and Colonial Williamsburg's 100th, we welcome America — and the world — to join us in 2026 in honoring the past, engaging the present, and inspiring the future.
The Revolution is here.
