Perhaps one of the best things about living in Williamsburg is that it is a college town. And we
love our Tribe. In the fall, football weekends are marked with tailgates on campus lawns and post-game celebrations at the College Delly. The spring is ushered in with Tribe baseball at one of the finest collegiate baseball facilities in the region, Plumeri Park. Whether you’re a basketball fan or a tennis buff, there is always an opportunity to sport your green and gold, and catch the William & Mary college spirit.
In addition to Tribe athletics, living near William & Mary also means opportunities unique to a college town such as performing arts, visiting lectures, art exhibits and annual graduation festivities.
The beautiful campus is a source of pride for our town, and well worth a bike ride through its sunken gardens, or a stroll through historic buildings, and across the bridge at Crim Dell (where Roger asked me to marry him many moons ago!). Don’t miss the Wren Chapel, where dozens of alumni are married every year. The second oldest university in the country (behind only Harvard), it educated U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Tyler, as well as U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall, and 16 signers of the Declaration of Independence.
