What to expect
William & Mary
Our certified tour guide will greet you in front of illy's and share some background information as you walk over to the College of William & Mary (Est. 1693). You'll tour the oldest academic building in the United States - the Sir Christopher Wren building and learn about the second oldest college in America and home to four United States Presidents. If the Wren building is open, there is usually an opportunity for a free organ recital on Saturdays at 10am in the Chapel. At other times, we can tour a Colonial classroom, the Chapel, the Blue Room, the Hall of Leadership, the Great Room and the classrooms that are still used today for religious studies. We'll also visit Brafferton, a former school for Virginia Indians, the Hearth: Memorial to the Enslaved, and tour the Sunken Garden, visiting the James Monroe statute, the James Blair statute, Tyler Family Garden (aka "Echo Wall"), and the Thomas Jefferson statute.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
