Chatham
Visitors to Chatham, Virginia state such things as, "A remnant of the Old South" and "It seems British-Colonial." Since its founding in 1777, Chatham has experienced a remarkable stability and continuity of population, buildings, and natural environment. Although the prosperous 1875-1925 era left a strong Victorian ambience, every architectural period since colonial days is visible. Visit Chatham and see Virginia as it once was.

Lee Hall Mansion is the only large antebellum plantation house remaining on the lower Virginia Peninsula. Completed in 1859, Lee Hall Mansion was home to affluent planter Richard Decauter Lee (of the York County Lee family), his wife Martha, and their children. Only three years after the house's completion, the Lees fled their home as the Peninsula became one of the first battlegrounds of the Civil War.

Volunteers lead visitors through seven rooms, beautifully decorated in the style of the mid-19th century. Tours highlight plantation life, furnishings, architecture, Richard D. Lee and his family, and the impact the Civil War had on local society.

Virginia Living Museum  - The Commonwealth of Virginia is blessed with an “uncommon-wealth” of natural wonders, among the most diverse in the country. At the Virginia Living Museum, this natural heritage comes alive. The museum’s living exhibits bring visitors in contact with more habitats, wildlife and plant species than would be encountered in a lifetime of outdoor adventures in Virginia. The exhibits literally go from the upland coves of the Appalachian Mountains to the salty offshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In 1987, the museum became the first living museum east of the Mississippi, combining the elements of a native wildlife park, science museum, aquarium, botanical preserve and planetarium. Today, the Virginia Living Museum continues to be a museum leader in its use of native wildlife to present its message - stimulating knowledge, awareness and appreciation of the living world. Visitors to the living museum encounter more habitats, wildlife and plant species than would be encountered in a lifetime of outdoor adventures in Virginia. The exhibits showcase all of the state’s regions from the upland coves of the Appalachian Mountains to the salty offshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean and feature more than 245 different animal species.

(Accommodation suggestion from a frequent visitor of Getting Away) Hi, We just went to Williamsburg also.  Stayed at the Primrose Cottage B&B.  It was very pleasant.  Always meet interesting people at these spots.  Anyone who is German seems to know about this place because the lady who owns it is German.  Great food.  She has a website (http://www.primrose-cottage.com) if anyone is interested. Lisa. (Thanks Lisa, Jim.)
