Run for the Dream Half Marathon INtroduction to the historic triangle
imeless—Elegant—Unexpected—with fun and adventure at every turn, the perfect retreat Tfrom the 21st century. It’s no surprise meeting planners report that attendance rises when they meet in America’s Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The unmatched combination of hands-on history, thrilling theme parks, world-class golf, arts and culture, the outdoors, and fine dining, shopping and evening entertainment will delight your delegates and their families, too.
And, don’t let our size fool you. The Williamsburg area is a major conference destination that has served as host to some of the world’s most prestigious and demanding groups. In January 2006, the Virginia Gubernatorial Inauguration moved to Williamsburg for the first time since Thomas Jefferson’s in 1779. In 2007, capping a year-long commemoration of America’s beginnings here in the Historic Triangle, over 500 leaders from mature and emerging democracies met to explore the future of democratic institutions around the world. Meeting Planner Guide I 2013 I Introduction to the Historic Triangle
2 Greater Williamsburg Chamber and Tourism Alliance The Business Roundtable, an association of the CEOs of the nation’s 100 largest corporations, has met here annually since 1995. The U.S. Senate Democratic Caucus and NATO’s Defense Ministers also chose Williamsburg as their meeting site. In fact, the very first meeting held in the new world was in July of 1619 in the Church at Jamestown when America’s first legislative assembly met. In January 2008, the Virginia legislature returned to the Colonial Capital for its commemorative session held every fourth year.
We can’t forget those meetings held with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, George Mason and Patrick Henry debating the ideas of liberty, independence and personal freedom that led to the founding of American democracy. And how about that “meeting” between Generals Washington and Cornwallis on the battlefield at Yorktown in 1781? It seems safe to say that meetings here have been known to change “the course of human events.” In 2007, after a 50-year hiatus, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth returned to the Historic Triangle for the 400th Anniversary Commemoration. President George W. Bush also attended ceremonies during the Commemoration year here in Williamsburg.
Over the years, we have enjoyed the honor of accommodating numerous other prestigious world visitors including the late Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Lady Margaret Thatcher, Prince Charles, and more recently Supreme Court Justice and Chancellor of the College of William & Mary, Sandra Day O’Connor, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan. Captain John Smith and the early colonists found their perfect meeting site at Jamestown. Washington, Jefferson and Patrick Henry found theirs at the Capitol and the Raleigh Tavern. You’re sure to find yours here, too.
From five-star luxury to economy-minded properties, from golf courses to the College of William & Mary, there’s an ideal meeting spot here just waiting to welcome you. Discover the story of America’s beginnings at Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, Jamestown Meeting Planner Guide I 2013 I Introduction to the Historic Triangle Settlement, Historic Jamestowne, Historic Yorktown, the Yorktown Battlefield and the Yorktown Victory Center.
3 For contemporary fun, enjoy the worlds of Busch Gardens and Water Country USA, and sit back and relax at the Williamsburg Winery. Experience Virginia’s rich heritage and culture at the Watermen’s Museum, James River Plantations and the Virginia Living Museum.
Thousands of visitors come here each year to explore more than 150 factory and designer outlet stores in the Williamsburg area, including Williamsburg’s first indoor shopping mall, The Williamsburg Outlet Mall. From gifts to the latest fashions, Merchants Square offers one-of-a-kind specialty stores, including handcrafted reproductions. Shoppers can find gifts for everyone on their list at New Town, see snow at Yankee Candle and visit the quaint village of Yorktown boasting unique art, antiques and reproductions in a relaxed atmosphere among the historic streets and on the waterfront at Riverwalk Landing.
For those who like to meet on the golf course, America’s Historic Triangle is one of the top 25 golf destinations in the world with 15 championship courses by the game’s top designers. With an average daytime temperature of 70 degrees, Williamsburg is the ideal place for golf year- round. Here are just a few quotes about some of our courses: “one of the top 10 new courses in the United States;” “the highest ranking in Virginia;” “ranked 40th in the top 100 you can play;” “one of the 50 best golf resorts;” and “outstanding… plan your next vacation around it.”
Centrally located on the eastern seaboard, Williamsburg is 150 miles south of Washington, DC, midway between Richmond and Virginia Beach. Easily accessible, the Historic Triangle is served by Amtrak and three major airports: Newport News/Williamsburg International, Norfolk International and Richmond International. Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport, located just two miles from Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area, serves private aircraft. Convenient ground transportation including airport shuttles, rental cars and limousine services are available.

The gold course ntroducing 125 acres of majestic woodlands, ravines, rolling fairways and dramatic hazards. IThis is the Gold Course — 18 holes that Robert Trent Jones Sr. called “my finest design.” Par from the championship tees is 71 over 6,817 yards. Seven holes pose water hazards. The longest par-5, the 15th, measures 631 yards from the championship tee. The shortest hole, the par-3 16th, plays without fairway to an island green. Equally impressive are the accolades. Golf Digest ranks the course as one of Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s top six designs, and GOLF Magazine listed it in the “Top 100 You Can Play” and selected holes 16 and 17 for inclusion in its ranking of the “Top 500 Golf Holes in the World.” Condé Nast Traveler Magazine named the Gold Course and the adjacent Williamsburg Inn among its choices for the “75 Top Golf Resorts in the World.”
The green course he Green Course, designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1991, perfectly blends the Tchallenge of championship golf with a spectacular mix of natural terrain that accommodates varied playing skills. “It’s rugged land, with lots of ravines and draws,” Rees said. “This is a shotmaker’s course.” Offering fairways and rough carved from 250 acres of mature woodland, the Green Course plays 7,120 yards from the championship tees. Water comes into play on six holes, two played over water and four with lateral hazards. No stranger to excellence, the Green Course has been a constant among Virginia’s top 10 courses since it opened for play. In fact, it received 1 4 /2 stars in Golf Digest’s listing of “Places to Play” and was noted in Zagat Survey: America’s Top Golf Courses. Meeting Planner Guide I 2013 I Golf

n a place known for history, Kingsmill Resort has made its Iown, thanks in large part to 54 holes of championship golf. Kingsmill features three distinctive layouts created by some of golf’s biggest names. Pete Dye’s River Course has 30 years of memorable PGA and LPGA tournament play, and is currently home to the Kingsmill Championship.
Bordered by the James River, the Dye layout contains the intense challenge and variety expected, placed in a setting of lush, rolling hills. Kingsmill’s two other courses underscore the wonderful variety here. The Woods Course, designed by Tom Clark and Curtis Strange, offers a pure golf experience, and its thoughtful mix of holes will test all aspects of your game. Arnold Palmer’s and Ed Seay’s Plantation Course has water hazards on eight holes and plenty of deep woods and ravines to navigate so precise approach play is needed.

You’re given bribe money to entice the characters to give you better clues, and a clue dossier that contains riddles and puzzles that you’ll need to decipher in order to be eligible for our “Super Sleuth” prize. Great idea for reunions, tour groups and conferences. All inclusive rates and group discounts. Weekly, year-round shows.

Civil War in Williamsburg In a harshly fought May 5, 1862 battle, 73,000 combatants met on the very outskirts of Williamsburg for a single day that took the lives of nearly 1,000 men with twice that number wounded. From that day until the end of the war, Williamsburg and its citizenry served under an occupying force. And the line dividing two countries was drawn just north of the College of William & Mary, located in the very heart of Williamsburg. Plan a visit to Williamsburg and see where battle lines were drawn, defensive positions placed, townspeople cared for the dead and wounded and where daily lives continued to exist even in the turmoil surrounding each household. Visit our website to learn about Civil War history throughout the Virginia Peninsula. www.CivilWarWilliamsburg.com
