| Virginia's second largest city
has a 400-year old history and is home to the world's largest naval
installation. Originally established as a port for exporting
tobacco, Norfolk today has undergone some dramatic urban renewal,
and its waterfront warehouses have been replaced with a vibrant
marketplace, upscale condominiums and hotels, as well as parks and
office buildings.
Colonial Williamsburg is a perfectly
preserved window into 18th-century colonial life and a great place
enjoy a stroll back in time.
There's always something in bloom within these spectacular gardens.
Showcasing more than 30 different types of gardens, enjoy a healing
garden, a rose garden, a tropical bog, a butterfly garden, a fern
glade, a winter garden and more.
In 1971 automobile heir and art collector Walter P. Chrysler, Jr.
presented the city of Norfolk's Museum of Arts and Science with his
extensive art collection, and since his death, they have continued
to grow, building upon his legacy.
