As part of the tribute, Colonial Williamsburg offers special complimentary admission passes to active duty military, reservists, retirees, veterans and their families from Nov. 7-11, 2008. The Honoring Service to America pass includes admission to Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area and museums, including the Capitol, Governor’s Palace and Bassett Hall, the Williamsburg home of Foundation benefactor John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. The pass also includes an Orientation Walk, a walking tour that provides an overview of Colonial Williamsburg and its Restoration, free shuttle bus service to and from the Visitor Center, a viewing of the movie, “Williamsburg, The Story of a Patriot,” and free parking at the Visitor Center.
If you live anywhere near Colonial Williamsburg and you are eligible for free admission I urge you to go. I just spoke with a representative and confirmed that you will receive free admission for all 5 days! Our family loves visiting Williamsburg and there is something for every age (well except babies!).
Along with free admission there are discounts available on hotels. You can read all about it at their website. Tickets are over $40 for adults so this is a fabulous deal! I have been several times and always enjoyed it immensely. If you go wear your walking shoes because the area is huge. I would recommend a stroller for little ones as even my bigger kids were tired at the end of the day.
Hats off to Williamsburg for supporting our troops!
