The Capitol at Williamsburg

Colonial Williamsburg - The Largest Living History Museum in the United States

The Capitol at Colonial Williamsburg was the site of many important political events that led to Virginia's participation in the War for Independence. The most significant of these events happened on May 15, 1776, when Virginia's legislators unanimously adopted a resolution declaring their independence from England. This resolution was adopted almost two months before the Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Declaration of Independence.
