Description

One of my favorite places in Williamsburg, Virginia at Christmas has to be the old, historic Williamsburg Inn. The inn is wonderful any time of year but really shines during the Christmas holidays. The exterior is adorned with thousands of tiny white lights that cast wonderful reflections in the winter pool adjoining the hotel. The effect is magic and mesmerizing.

The Inn's history began in 1937, with two other additions added through the years. The design is a three-story, seven-bay, Colonial Revival style brick structure, acclaimed for its accommodations, service and cuisine

The Inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Williamsburg Inn is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The Williamsburg Inn has twice hosted Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1957 and 2007 whilst visiting Jamestown, Virginia. These visits marked the original settlement of the British colonists on the 350th and 400th anniversaries when the British first landed in America.

Also available as a Christmas Card.

The Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel is a beacon of history located in the heart of downtown Chattanooga. In 1909 the Terminal Station opened as the first railway station in the South, designed in the famous Beaux Arts style. The Choo Choo Hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and remains one of the city’s first historic preservation projects.Guests can eat in a fine hotel restaurant located in back of the hotel in old railroad cars or a number of eateries in the main railroad lobby located in the old train station pictured here.

I had a chance to capture this iconic sign trying to travel from our home in Virginia to New Orleans in our camping trailer, when suddenly Covid 19 hit. We stopped a few days in Chattanooga and then turned around and went home when our camping spot was cancelled in New Orleans. This sign will always be a memory of those times.

This sign would be very cute in a child's or grandchild's bedroom or for anyone who loves trains or train memorabilia.
