Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown-the history is amazing.    My mother and sister lived in Williamsburg for a few years and I went to visit them as often as possible. During this trip, we were able to take a day to go to Richmond and Monticello. And we always spent lots of time at Colonial Williamsburg.    The ships above are replicas of the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery at the Jamestown Settlement Park, which is a replica of the fort established by Englishmen in 1607.    The church below is at Jamestown Island, which is the location of the actual fort. It was constructed in 1906 and is the sixth church at this location.    These two buildings are at Colonial Williamsburg. Above is the Ludlwell-Paradise House, built in 1755. It was one of the first homes to be bought and restrored in the 1920s. The building below is the Courthouse, built in 1770.    Monticello was beautiful in the snow. We took the tour and spent lots of time touring the grounds. That includes the Jefferson Family Cemetery, where our 3rd President is buried. His epitaph mentions that he wrote the Declaration of Independence, but not that he was president.    Above is the Confederate Memorial at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. Thousands of Confederate dead are buried in this area, including many that fell at Gettysburg in 1863 such as Brigadier General Richard B. Garnett. Generals George Pickett and J.E.B. Stuart are also buried nearby.    Below is St. John's Church in Smithfield, Isle of Wight County. It is also known as Benns Church and Old Brick Church. It is the oldest surviving church in the United States. It was built in 1632. In 1966 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
