Virginia, USA
Virginia bed and breakfast accommodation in the state of presidents
The Commonwealth of Virginia is a US state that is considered to part of the Southern region in historical terms. Any Virginia bed and breakfast host will proudly tell visitors that Virginia is known as the "Mother of Presidents" because it is the birthplace of eight US presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson). This is a number exceeded by no other state. The capital of Virginia is Richmond and the most populous city is Virginia Beach.
Few places in the US can claim a historical legacy like that of Virginia. And few have done such a good job of preserving it forposterity. Today the Historic Triangle of Colonial Virginia area includes Jamestown, Yorktown and the restored area and living 
museum of Colonial Williamsburg. There are many Virginia bed and breakfast establishments that serve visitors to these attractions. Linked by the Colonial Parkway, they combine to form one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Virginia bed and breakfast vacationers also visit Mt. Vernon (the home of George Washington), Monticello (home of Thomas Jefferson) the Lees home at Stratford, and Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy and of Virginia. Colonial Williamsburg was one of the first places of historical interest in the US to combine historic architecture with living-history re-enactments. Virginia B&B, lodge and inn guests flock there to experience a close up and personal look at colonial life. The people in the charades are dressed authentically, talk in the authentic old way and even act and do tasks as they were in the old days.
The natural splendor of Virginia amazes all visitors whether staying in Virginia bed and breakfasts or otherwise. Visitors love the sparkling waters of the Chesapeake Bay and the majesticBlue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains of the Shenendoah Valley. Virginia's eastern shore is ideal for clam-digging and there are many Virginia bed 
and breakfast stays available in the locality. Virginia has a large number of manufacturing industries and a diverse economy, with many federal and military employees in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. Virginia has the world's largest naval base. The state is also one of the top ten coal producers in the US. Agriculture remains an important sector, and the state ranks among the top ten in a variety of agricultural products, including tomatoes, tobacco, peanuts and apples. Virginia also has a large dairy industry. Virginia bed and breakfast businesses serve business people and people connected with the military and federal government, not just vacationers.
