Just as the Wren Building is a cornerstone for William & Mary, it is also a cornerstone for Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area. We’ve always been connected—from Thomas Jefferson’s days at the College to John D. Rockefeller’s commitment to begin the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg with the restoration of the Wren Building.
Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area is an extension of the campus, and we are open 365 days a year. We have hotels, restaurants (modern and 18th-century inspired), shops, art museums, programs and special events. So whether you are a returning visitor, new to the area, or here all the time, there’s always something new to discover and enjoy. Our Collegiate Pass has been designed with special benefits, so you can take full advantage of the Colonial Williamsburg experience.
Here’s How to Get Your Collegiate Pass
