If you book your trip during these time periods you may need to pack an umbrella on the off-chance that you’ll see a raincloud or two, but the weather is pleasant overall and the added bonus of fall foliage or blooming spring flowers only enhances the picturesque landscape.

  • After Jamestown, the first British settlement in North America, and Yorktown, where the final battle of the American Revolution was fought, Williamsburg rounds out the trio of Virginia’s Historic Triangle.
