Really great stuff
Williamsburg Regional Library, 515 Scotland Street, 757.259.4040
This is one of the best libraries we’ve ever seen, plus the library has weekly afternoon movies as well as children’s events, concerts, readings, and lectures. Many programs are free of charge.
A Williamsburg driver’s license entitles you to a Good Neighbor Card from Colonial Williamsburg for $10. That means free admission to all CW exhibition buildings and museums for one year.
Your local driver’s license (proof of residence) gets you into the Jamestown Settlement and the Yorktown Victory Center for free.
