Williamsburg, Virginia is competing for the title of “Most Patriotic Town” in America. The city is one of six finalists in the Rand McNally/USA Today “Best of the Road” competition. As part of the contest, a Rand McNally Team is visiting the area sometime between June 24 and June 27 to see how it stacks up against the five other patriotic cities vying for the title.

In an effort to show just how patriotic Williamsburg is, the town is preparing a special welcome, an official proclamation and a guided tour focusing on the patriotic elements of this historic town.

Although special events are planned, much of what the team will discover are attractions and things to do that showcase how patriotic Williamsburg is on a daily basis. Things to do at Colonial Williamsburg include a carriage ride along the Duke of Gloucester Street, attending the Revolutionary City Program, talking to George Washington or Patrick Henry, and watching the Fifes and Drums regime.

The goal is to show that patriotic heritage is alive and well throughout the historic town, known as America’s Historic Triangle and home to Jamestown and Yorktown.
