Of all the Williamsburg Attractions ... this one is a "head" of the rest!
Are you interested in American Presidents? I know which of the Williamsburg Attractions will thrill you! The "Presidents Heads" as the locals refer to this destination is a park filled with 43 Presidential statues. Each statue is 16 to 18 ft tall and quite impressive. I know a statue of a body that is 18ft tall is not all that impressive but a head that is 18ft tall is LARGE! The outdoor museum provides history for presidents from 1789. They have the museum set up as a self-guided tour. There are four different tours each focusing on a different part of the president's legacy. The park is small but very pretty. It is a parklike setting but also totally accessible for wheelchairs and motorized scooters.

What else can you do at this one?
Have you ever wondered what the inside of Air Force One looks like? You can board a replica of Air Force One that looks like the one flew by Presidents Kennedy through Reagan. Would you like to see what you would look like sitting behind the "Presidents Desk" in the oval office? This is the place to find out. There is also a collection of authentically reproduced gowns worn by the first ladies. There is a small restaurant called Air Force One Cafe which offers a variety of snacks and light meals. You can also watch a short film.
This park will take you about 90 minutes to see completely. It gets a bad wrap in town so you will not hear much about it. The heads are very cool looking and everyone I have talked to who have visited this park really found it interesting. If you are a president junkie you will really enjoy it.
