Untold Secrets of Williamsburg History Experience

Overview

Experience Untold Secrets of Williamsburg to discover the true, dark, and unbelievable stories of the giants of American History who lived here. They helped found our country...but also walked the streets of Williamsburg as living, loving, fighting, and real human beings with personal stories, good and terrible, waiting to be uncovered.

While Colonial Williamsburg is a true museum of living history, many storytellers shy away from the details that made it real and avoid unpopular stories of the great, and terrible, men and women who lived, loved, laughed, killed, and died here. On this tour experience, instead of stepping carefully around those stories, expert tour guides will dive headfirst into unflinching accounts and gripping backstories of the famous and infamous figures who called Williamsburg home.

What To Expect

Bruton Parish Episcopal Church

Visit the Church of the Founding Fathers. Founded in 1682 and constructed in 1715, Bruton Parish heard the prayers, fears, and hopes of five U.S. presidents.

George Wythe House

Explore the scandal surrounding this founding father's death (or was it a murder?).

Public Hospital Museum

This hospital was established to house "idiots, lunatics, and persons of insane mind." Often, conditions were not much better than those in jail, but some doctors did their best to improve circumstances for their patients. Following the Civil War, conditions again deteriorated, until the original building burned down.

Governor's Palace

Though the building you'll see is a reproduction built in 1934, it was constructed from original plans drawn up by Thomas Jefferson, who also once resided in the home while he served as governor of Virginia following the Revolutionary War.
