I"d look at Gettysburg or Valley forge (I'm a little partial they are in my back yard).

dixons muzzle loading shop is in between them.

Dixon's Muzzleloading Shop - Home of the Gunmakers Fair

They have a neat fair about making muzzle loaders I think its in July.

Like Jinman said the Glass and Pottery factory. Any time I head south we always have to make a detour to Williamsburg so SWMBO can stop at the factory.

Will do.

I will miss my children, miss my tractor, miss all the building projects, miss my buddies...
and especially TBN...

I may sneak a peak every once and a while...

Williamsburg, you only pay to go inside some of the more significant buildings, a lot are free. I like to eat at the Kings Arm Tavern, need reservation ahead of time. Also visit Jamestown and yorktown in the area.
skyline drive is nice, very scenic, but expect it to take longer than you plan. speed limit is 35. I usually do it once a year at least.
Enjoy the trip.

Home after 5000+ kilometres, 9 tanks of fuel, unlimited rest stops for me and shopping for the misses.

Actually arrived home May 22... to a dead computer. Didn't loose any data but had to replace the unit. I am in the process of organizing 2500+ images. Will post a few later.
Just getting back online tonight.

Weather was hit and miss. High 50s and 80s. Was totally impressed with Williamsburg, Jamestown, Loray Caverns, Montecello (and Mitchies - thanks JD3720 & Czechson) Gettysburg. Was impressed with the quality of the roads and signage... not impressed with the traffic. But hey, can't have it all and when you try to condense all of Canada into the New England seaboard something has to give...

Our first day was 15 hours - NS to Hartford Conn. Second day was 13 hours - arrival at Williamsburg.

Bought a lot of books and things. Picked up nails at Tremont Nail Factory in Wareham Mass.
Shame they moved the factory and inventory an hours drive away. Now it's a little craft store and you must order on-line. The staff was very helpful in getting materials for me at the factory for pick-up though! Talk about customer service.

Unfortunately we didn't have time for everything and we missed a lot. Oh well... time to start planning again.

Cheers.

PS: thanks for all the suggestions!!!
