Philip）于2007年5月在弗吉尼亚州历史悠久的殖民时代的威廉斯堡（Williamsburg,
Virginia）乘着马车向欢迎的人群致意。
从1699年到1780年，威廉斯堡曾是英国最古老、最广阔、最富庶和人口最多的殖民地，后来成为美国建国后最具影响力的弗吉尼亚州的权力中心。正是在威廉斯堡的店铺、客栈、政府大楼、家庭与街道内，乔治·华盛顿（George
Washington）、托马斯·杰斐逊（Thomas Jefferson）、帕特里克·亨利（Patrick
Henry）、乔治·梅森（George
Mason）及其他弗吉尼亚州的爱国人士树立起自由、独立和个人自由的理想，这些理想对美国的立国产生了影响并激励了一代代美国人和世界各地的人民。
据殖民时代威廉斯堡基金会网站的统计，自1932年以来已有1亿多名旅客参观游览了威廉斯堡具有历史意义的地区。

Many visitors from abroad join vacationing Americans in exploring the variety of historical attractions the United States has to offer.
In the United States, summer is the traditional time for vacations. The ways in which Americans spend their leisure hours are as diverse as the land and its people. And many visitors from abroad join Americans in exploring the variety of historical attractions the United States has to offer.
Here Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip greet welcoming crowds from a horse-drawn carriage in historic Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, in May 2007.
From 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was the capital of England's oldest, largest, richest and most populous colony, and then the seat of power in Virginia, the new United States' most influential state. It was in Williamsburg’s shops, taverns, government buildings, homes and streets that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, George Mason and other Virginia patriots established the ideals — liberty, independence and personal freedom — that influenced the founding of the United States and inspired generations of Americans and others around the world.
More than 100 million visitors have toured Williamsburg's historic area since 1932, according to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s website.
