Winter in Williamsburg, VA
 Williamsburg
has a pretty mild winter most years. It could be brisk, with a
little snow, and likely some rain. But that doesn’t mean you
should stay home -- It’s still a great way to take advantage of
all Williamsburg has to offer.
The main advantage is that you’ll get to indulge in
Colonial Williamsburg
without crowds and get time to really talk to staff about their
experiences in the Historic Area. Remember, the people who come
to work at Colonial Williamsburg are really passionate about
what they do – and sometimes during the high season, they don’t
get to share their knowledge in depth with visitors. If you are
a history buff or love one particular aspect of colonial life,
winter is a great time to dig in and find out more.
For example, if you are interested in military history,
winter would be a good time to visit the Magazine in the center
of town and visit the men who passionately research the lives of
the colonial militia. They can tell you a lot about cleaning
weapons, storing gunpowder in the winter, typical chores and
repairs that would accompany a military lifestyle. You can also
make a stop in at the Gunsmith shop as well.
For other interests, visit the milliner or the print shop and
find out how their trades were affected by changes during the
late 1770s. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum and the
DeWitt Wallace Gallery have an array of exhibits as well.
 During the winter,
art galleries are open and you are free to
browse at your leisure. Several coffee shops near Merchant’s
Square like Aroma’s and the Blue Talon, that will be glad to
give you a lift with a hot mocha latte so you can continue your
exploration of town. Winter concerts and
events pepper the
calendar so be sure to check local listings as you plan your
visit.
Besides the in-town amenities, don’t forget that Williamsburg
is visited for its
shopping nearly as much as for its history.
The Premium Outlets are open year round and there are great
deals to be had during the holiday season as well as after. So,
happy hunting and enjoy a rejuvenating visit to Williamsburg!
So, when are you coming? Williamsburg is ready to host your
winter getaway! Book your stay at one of
our
Williamsburg Bed and Breakfasts and set off to enjoy it
all!
