Kingsmill Resort


Situated in  the Virginia's Historic Triangle, Kingsmill Resort is nestled on land that housed a bustling Virginia plantation from 1619 through the 1800s.It was nearly the home of the first settlers to Virginia, but lost out to nearby Jamestown, because it was easier for ships to anchor there. A decade or so later, the first 300 acres of Kingsmill settled by Richard Kingsmill, a member of the Virginia Company, an organization chartered in England and charged with the founding and settlement of Virginia. Several other early colonists played a significant part in the development of Kingsmill and the growth of nearby Williamsburg.


Today Kingsmill is a AAA Four‐Diamond resort lt features one- to three-
bedroom suite accommodations with access to family-friendly amenities and three 18-hole championship golf courses. Suites with kitchens, washer/dryers, spacious living areas and multiple bedroom units are available. Kingsmill houses a 16,000 square‐foot IACC certified conference center, five on-site restaurants, fitness center and spa, indoor/outdoor pools and full service
marina.

Wedmore Place
Wedmore Place
 is a historid farm that was settled in 1615. It was first called Archers Hope. In 1781, it was on the military maps of the French armies of Lafayette. It was identified due to its participation in the Revolutionary war against the British crown. At the time, the farm was owned by Maitre Bland, a reverend active American independence movement.

The 300 acre farm was acquired in 1983 as a virtually abandoned parcel by Patrick and Peggy Duffeler. They changed the name to Wedmore Place, a place conceptualized to feature art, history and culture in its stylistic design, its themes and decoration.

The first renovation project on the farm besides the reconstruction of a dwelling that was found out to have dated from 1736, was the start of the first planting of grapes in 1985 and the establishment of a winery.
