Guests arrive by horse-drawn carriage to the Governor’s Palace.

During the time that Williamsburg, Virginia, was the capital of the Virginia colony (1699-1780), Governor’s Palace was the official residence for the royal governor. It was also the home for Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, two of Virginia’s post-colonial governors until the capital moved to Richmond in 1780.
