Somehow I've never been to Williamsburg, VA: is it worth a couple of days in late September? Any recs for the area, besides the historic area, appreciated.

Busch gardens was the highlight of my teenage years trip to Williamsburg. Dad loved all the historic stuff and battlefields, but the amusement park was great.

There are easily 20 pancake houses, take your pick

There’s a really good brewery called precarious right there by the entrance to colonial Williamsburg and William & Mary. Also a meadery nearby that is worth a visit. For a casual lunch the Yorktown pub is good. Very good seafood and right there on the water maybe 20 min from Williamsburg. Of the 3 national parks Jamestown is my favorite. There’s also a ferry near the Jamestown park site that you can take across the James river.

If you are a U.S. history buff (I am) then yes, it is definitely worth a couple of days.

Christina Campbell’s Tavern; it is in the Colonial Williamsburg historical area. George Washington ate there. We ate dinner there ~ 25 years ago. As I recall some of their food was historically authentic such as their spoon bread.

Jamestown and Yorktown are other nearby historical places.

William & Mary College is adjacent to CW; just from looking at the stadium I thought it might be fun to attend a football game there.

Agreed that the stadium looks great from the outside. They have a pretty solid football history for such a small school.

Of course Joe Brady
Mike Tomlin - Steelers HC
Sean McDermott - bills HC

All played there.

Marv levy and Lou holtz coached.
