For those looking to explore beyond convention activities, there’s no shortage of things to see and do. To get started, we recommend a visit to Colonial Williamsburg—a living history destination and an excellent resource for planning your stay in the area. While you’re nearby, consider a trip to Historic Yorktown, where the British surrender during the Revolutionary War marked a turning point in American history.
If you have school-age children studying U.S. history, a visit to Fort Monroe Museum is well worth your time. This remarkable fort, located deep within Confederate territory during the Civil War, remained under Union control throughout the conflict—earning it a unique place in history.
World War II enthusiasts will want to make time for the MacArthur Memorial in downtown Norfolk. This impressive museum honors General Douglas MacArthur and his leadership in the Pacific campaign.
We hope you and your family will take full advantage of all the area has to offer and join us for a truly memorable convention experience. October will be here before you know it—so start making your plans now! Bring the whole family and turn the convention weekend into something special. We look forward to seeing you there.
