Discover the historic national treasures of the East on this rewarding vacation. Start your trip in Washington DC with a sightseeing tour featuring the city’s famous sites. Then tour Mount Vernon, the restored home of George Washington, and the Yorktown Historical Battlefield Park, where the British surrendered to Washington’s troops in 1781. Next, tour the archaeological site of Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg's historic area, where costumed villagers add charm and authenticity to the quaint streets. See the historic trade shops and the Public Gaol; drop in at Raleigh Tavern, the meeting place for Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and other patriots. Enjoy a colonial-style dinner and experience a recreated supper experience savored by 18th-centrury patriots.
