Richmond classified as a small city, has some good museums, and is the best starting point for seeing Virginia. The bulk of the colonial sites are in the area known as the Historic Triangle. Jamestown, the original colony, Williamsburg, the restored colonial capital, and Yorktown, site of the final battle of the Revolutionary War, are within half an hour's drive of each other. Another historic centre, Thomas Jefferson's Charlottesville, sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
