It is a region of low rolling hills about 40 miles wide to the north and some 150 miles wide along its southern border. It's an area where the old and the new come together, where quaint old country towns and villages lie side-by-side in perfect harmony with Virginia's modern cities. Here, the foothills of the Blue Ridge give way to the valleys of the great tidal rivers. This is where many great patriots – men like Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and James Madison – dreamed the dreams that gave birth to a nation. Visit the house where Thomas Jefferson was brought up as a child, or the famous battlefield of Appomattox, or the house where Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant agreed to end the Civil War -- among many more attractions. This is a guide to it all."An excellent destination guide."-- The Bookwatch. Chock-full of attractions town by town; thoroughly interesting. Excellent detail; this excellent guide will take good care of you. It's a great reference to have for both residents and visitors. Virginia has so many historical sites that touring the state is like taking a class on the formation of America. A tourist can visit Revolutionary War Sites, Civil War Battlefields, scenic old towns, and the beautifully restored great houses, like Mount Vernon in Alexandria , Monticello in Charlottesville, Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg and, of course, the James River Plantations. Williamsburg is a must-see for everyone. This book's Introduction gives a little background of Virginia and some general history. The handbook is then on the regional areas of the state. The historic sites, annual events, shopping places, museums, hotel accommodations, recreation areas, dining and local transportation are all listed and given detailed descriptions.
