: The Landscape of the Middle Peninsula
The Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg is a collection
of individual gardens and the cool green spaces that make up the landscape
that so many visitors find enchanting. That landscape is a fusion of the
simple Baroque town plan imposed on the small hamlet of Middle Plantation
by Gov. Nicholson and the remnants of the primordial landscape, a typical
Tidewater, Virginia topography of level places and the ravines that mark
their drainage.
