Colonial Williamsburg is often times associated with the Revolutionary War era,, but the old capital city is home to many civil war related sites as well. On May 5, 1862, approximately 70,000 union and confederate soldiers clashed at the Battle of Williamsburg. Remnants of that bloody struggle linger to this day. A nighttime stroll along Duke of Gloucester Street will reveal headquarters, Barracks, arsenal’s, hospitals, morgues and some say even Ghosts!

A fun walk into the past

5.00Well, the guide was very good and had great background stories to tell. The area obviously has a storied history and many overlapping tales from time. While this focused on civil war the guide went back into background. Also very knowledgeable about the greater area's history. Very worthwhile experience of a time in history that may repeat itself.
Extremely informative!

5.00Upon arrival of the tour we were told that it was brand new by our guide Rob. He was very informative, personable, and professional. The days prior we had spent learning about the earliest settlement and the Revolutionary War. It seemed fitting to learn about the Civil War next. You may or may not see any ghost, but you will have a better understanding of the Civil War and the people affected by it. It was fascinating and humbling at the same time learning about the town's historical connection. We would definitely recommend this tour!
