| Most of destinations gives some idea to visitors to learn about
its past, whether by building museums or preserving historical
sites and architecture. The main attraction is the Colonial
Williamsburg, for instance: It was one of the first locations to
combine historic architecture with living-history reenactments,
and it's still one of the best. Visitors will enjoy an up-close
look at early colonial life the language, the tasks, even the
buttons appear authentic. Virginia was a virtual who's-who of
founding fathers. Four of the first five U.S. presidents, in
fact, were from the state and most of them George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson being the best known have left behind
impressive estates. Don't miss the natural beauty of the
Shenandoah region and some quality oceanfront beaches in the
Tidewater area, for instance but to go to this state without
taking at least some notice of its past is almost impossible. To
walk among the battlefields of Manassas, Fredericksburg and Cold
Harbor is to appreciate the valor and carnage unleashed by the
most deadly war in U.S. history. Top Cities in Virginia
