December 10-11, 2005: Living just a few hours from Williamsburg, VA, we decided to take a weekend trip. We went at Christmastime. The downside of that was that it was cold, but the up-side of that was that it wasn't crowded and all the colonial homes were decked out for the holidays which was beautiful!
Colonial Williamsburg does a fabulous job of re-creating the period between 1750-1775 leading up to the Revolutionary War. 
There are four historic dining taverns and we had a fabulous time eating at one of them. We were seated with several other people and they provided colonial table games for us to play as a group while we were waiting for our food. The servers were dressed in period-appropriate attire and it was a lot of fun!
Verdict: YES. Williamsburg is interesting and fun and has been meticulously restored, so you really get a sense of the time period. It's very family-oriented, but to really get something out of it and to be patient enough to really listen to what guides and such are telling you, I would recommend being at least 10-12 years old.
