The
Governor's Palace at Williamsburg. A gorgeous building, inside and out, and a fascinating way to highlight the class disparities in the colonial town.
The
Bruton Parish Church. I was really excited, because we got to go to Mass here, and worship in the same building that many of America's founding fathers did. The first church was built there in 1660, and this one was restored as the first building to be returned to colonial appearances around the turn of the (2oth) century. The parish was once home to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Richard Henry Lee, George Wythe, Patrick Henry, and George Mason.
More history here!
These were the two most moving graves in the town, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not sure how clearly you can see it, but the inscription on each simply reads "Confederate Soldier" and gives the year of death, 1862.
