Virginia’s delightful landscape and moderate climate make it easy to understand why it was the site of the first permanent settlement in North America at Jamestown. It also was the beloved birthplace and home of many of our founding fathers, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Their homes, Mount Vernon and Monticello, are major tourist destinations. For the student of American history there is no better state to visit. No visit would be complete without a tip to Colonial Williamsburg.
To Virginia the nation owes its most cherished Documents-Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence, George Mason's Bill of Bights, James Madison's Constitution. From here came George Washington to lead the Revolution and to become the first of eight US presidents to hail from Virginia.
Moderate temperatures, light rainfall, verdant flowering gardens, brilliant foliage make spring and fall the best seasons to visit. In Virginia’s inland lies the gentle rolling Piedmont, covering about half the state. Here is Virginia's leading tobacco area; it also produces apples, corn, wheat, and dairy products. To the vacationer today, the state offers colonial and Civil War history at every turn.
Seashore and mountain recreation are available year-round. It offers such natural oddities as Luray Caverns in the west and the Dismal swamp in the southeast, and the Skyline Drive in the SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK.
