Colonial Williamsburg: The birthplace of American beer

摘要

At Colonial Williamsburg, a 1.22-km~2 (301-acre) "historic district and living-history museum" [1] in the heart of the small City of Williamsburg in the state of Virginia, history indeed comes alive ... literally. As you stroll along painstakingly reconstructed residences, workshops, inns, and taverns dating from the late 18th century, interpreters and actors in period costumes recreate daily life from the time of the American Revolution (1775— 1783), when such luminaries as the United States' first president, George Washington, its third president, Thomas Jefferson, and its fourth president, James Monroe, walked the district's streets.
