Preserving the heritage of a state proud to be the first permanent English colony on the American continent, historical places in Virginia attract history enthusiasts and other travelers looking for a bit of culture. Boasting the country's largest open-air museum of hundreds of restored and reconstructed buildings, Williamsburg amazes those keen on the colonial period. The life of the first American president is at a display at George Washington's Mount Vernon in Fairfax County, while the third president is honored at Thomas Jefferson Foundation in Charlottesville. Pay your respects to American soldiers at the joint burial complex of Arlington National Cemetery and Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington.
