Day 4 – Step Back In Time At Colonial Williamsburg – Make Travel Matter
Tuesday, September 8, 2026
This morning, we venture to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America, where we'll gain insights into the trials that marked the lives of early 17th-century colonists. Fast forward a few centuries and spend the rest of the day in Colonial Williamsburg, once Britain's largest colony in the New World. Chat with blacksmiths and soldiers, and perhaps even engage in some politicking with a costumed Federalist in the town square. Partake in a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience and meet Sylvia Tabb-Lee, who will bring America’s slavery history into the light with storytelling, visual presentations, and song and dance.
Jamestown Settlement
Guests can walk through the life-sized re-creations of the colonists' crude fort, explore the mock-up of the Native American Powhatan village, and climb aboard a replica of one of the three ships that sailed from England to Virginia.
