INtroduction to the historic triangle
Timeless--Elegant--Unexpected--with fun and adventure at every turn, the perfect retreat from the 21st century. It's no surprise meeting planners report that attendance rises when they meet in America's Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The unmatched combination of hands-on history, thrilling theme parks, world-class golf, arts and culture, the outdoors, and fine dining, shopping and evening entertainment will delight your delegates and their families, too.
And, don't let our size fool you. The Williamsburg area is a major conference destination that has served as host to some of the world's most prestigious and demanding groups. In January 2006, the Virginia Gubernatorial Inauguration moved to Williamsburg for the first time since Thomas Jefferson's in 1779. In 2007, capping a year-long commemoration of America's beginnings here in the Historic Triangle, over 500 leaders from mature and emerging democracies met to explore the future of democratic institutions around the world.

The Business Roundtable, an association of the CEOs of the nation's 100 largest corporations, has met here annually since 1995. The U.S. Senate Democratic Caucus and NATO's Defense Ministers also chose Williamsburg as their meeting site. In fact, the very first meeting held in the new world was in July of 1619 in the Church at Jamestown when America's first legislative assembly met. In January 2008, the Virginia legislature returned to the Colonial Capital for its commemorative session held every fourth year.
We can't forget those meetings held with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, George Mason and Patrick Henry debating the ideas of liberty, independence and personal freedom that led to the founding of American democracy. And how about that "meeting" between Generals Washington and Cornwallis on the battlefield at Yorktown in 1781? It seems safe to say that meetings here have been known to change "the course of human events." In 2007, after a 50-year hiatus, Britain's Queen Elizabeth returned to the Historic Triangle for the 400th Anniversary Commemoration. President George W. Bush also attended ceremonies during the Commemoration year here in Williamsburg.
Over the years, we have enjoyed the honor of accommodating numerous other prestigious world visitors including the late Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Lady Margaret Thatcher, Prince Charles, and more recently Supreme Court Justice and Chancellor of the College of William & Mary, Sandra Day O'Connor, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan. Captain John Smith and the early colonists found their perfect meeting site at Jamestown. Washington, Jefferson and Patrick Henry found theirs at the Capitol and the Raleigh Tavern. You're sure to find yours here, too.
From five-star luxury to economy-minded properties, from golf courses to the College of William & Mary, there's an ideal meeting spot here just waiting to welcome you. Discover the story of America's beginnings at Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, Jamestown Settlement, Historic Jamestowne, Historic Yorktown, the Yorktown Battlefield and the Yorktown Victory Center.

For those who like to meet on the golf course, America's Historic Triangle is one of the top 25 golf destinations in the world with 15 championship courses by the game's top designers. With an average daytime temperature of 70 degrees, Williamsburg is the ideal place for golf yearround. Here are just a few quotes about some of our courses: "one of the top 10 new courses in the United States;" "the highest ranking in Virginia;" "ranked 40th in the top 100 you can play;" "one of the 50 best golf resorts;" and "outstanding... plan your next vacation around it."
Centrally located on the eastern seaboard, Williamsburg is 150 miles south of Washington, DC, midway between Richmond and Virginia Beach. Easily accessible, the Historic Triangle is served by Amtrak and three major airports: Newport News/Williamsburg International, Norfolk International and Richmond International. Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport, located just two miles from Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, serves private aircraft. Convenient ground transportation including airport shuttles, rental cars and limousine services are available.
