Additional Information
Colonial Williamsburg is frequently linked to the Revolutionary War period, but the historic capital also hosts numerous Civil War sites. On May 5, 1862, around 70,000 Union and Confederate soldiers fought in the Battle of Williamsburg. Traces of this fierce conflict remain visible today. An evening walk along Duke of Gloucester Street unveils headquarters, barracks, arsenals, hospitals, morgues, and, as some claim, even ghosts!

Civil War living history - Upon arrival of the tour we were told that it was brand new by our guide Rob. He was very informative, personable, and professional. The days prior we had spent learning about the earliest settlement and the Revolutionary War. It seemed fitting to learn about the Civil War next. You may or may not see any ghost, but you will have a better understanding of the Civil War and the people affected by it. It was fascinating and humbling at the same time learning about the town's historical connection. We would definitely recommend this tour!
