• 100 W Nicholson St - Your first stop is at the doorstep of the Peyton Randolph House, the former residence of a passionate revolutionary and one of the oldest buildings in Williamsburg! While William Randolph may not be a household name, he was a trusted ally of figures like Thomas Jefferson.
• Bassett Hall - This simple two-story 18th-century white frame farmhouse is nestled on 585 acres of lawn, garden, and woodlands. Bassett Hall was once the Williamsburg home of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. Philip Johnson, a member of the House of Burgesses from King and Queen County, Virginia, is believed to have constructed the 18th-century frame house sometime between 1753 and 1766. It was purchased by Burwell Bassett around 1800, and Union cavalryman George Armstrong Custer was a guest during the Civil War.
• Moore House - Representatives from Cornwallis and Washington met at the Moore House, where the British offered total surrender to the French and American coalition.

• Washington’s Headquarters at Yorktown - This site remains a significant part of American history, as it is where plans were drawn for the final battle of the American Revolution.
• French Artillery Park - Just as the French Navy played a crucial role in the success of the American Revolution, so did the French artillery.
• Grand French Battery - The Grand French Battery was the site of the largest concentration of French Artillery during the Battle of Yorktown.
• Yorktown National Cemetery - You might be surprised to learn that this is not a Revolutionary War cemetery, but rather a Civil War burial ground.
• Yorktown Victory Monument - The journey concludes at the Yorktown Victory Monument, a fitting place conceived soon after Cornwallis’s surrender.
• Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building - Constructed between 1701 and 1705, the first Williamsburg statehouse served the colony of Virginia until a fire destroyed it in 1747. The first floor of the west building housed the General Court and the colony’s secretary, while the east floor was for the House of Burgesses and its clerk. Arched windows adorned the facades, and stairs on one side led to the Council Chamber, a lobby, and the Council clerk’s office, while stairs on the other side led to three committee rooms. A second-floor conference room connected the classically corniced structures, and a six-sided cupola on the ridge of the hipped and dormered roof crowned it all. Although the west wing was completed by July 1703, it took until November 1705 for Cary to finish all the work.
• Raleigh Tavern Court - Next, you’ll arrive at the Raleigh Tavern, where rebellious Virginians gathered to plot a possible revolution against their British rulers. These meetings even welcomed notable figures like Thomas Jefferson!
• Colonial Williamsburg Magazine - Then you’ll come to the Colonial Williamsburg Magazine, the site of a tense standoff between American patriots and British soldiers attempting to seize all the gunpowder from the town before it could fall into rebel hands.
• Colonial Williamsburg - Directly opposite the Magazine, you’ll find the old courthouse, where Williamsburg residents heard the Declaration of Independence read aloud for the first time.
• Playhouse Theater - Up next is the Play House Stage, a recreation of one of America’s first theatres. Although the original may have failed, this one still hosts regular shows!
• Governor’s Palace - Then you’ll see the extravagant Governor’s Palace, which may give you an idea of why Williamsburg residents were not particularly fond of their British royal governors!
• George Wythe House - Next is the house of George Wythe, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who stood out from most of his peers for one simple reason: he was an abolitionist. In Virginia, a state heavily reliant on slave labor, this did not make him many friends!
• Bruton Parish Episcopal Church - Continuing on, you’ll arrive at the oldest building in Colonial Williamsburg: the Bruton Parish Episcopal Church. Here, you’ll learn not only about the church’s surprising history but also about how it’s the reason Colonial Williamsburg exists today.
• Armistead House - After that is the Bowden-Armistead House, whose history highlights some of the deep divisions that ran through Williamsburg during the Civil War era. The owner was a northerner, and you can imagine how his Virginian neighbors felt about that…
• The College of William and Mary - Your route then takes you onto the campus of William & Mary College, the oldest college in the United States.
• Wren Building - The final stop on your tour is the Wren Building, an impressive structure that is not only the oldest building on the William & Mary Campus but also the oldest college building in the entire United States!
