American Heritage Holiday featuring The Greenbrier Resort - Holiday

Set forth on a grand historical tour featuring the timeless elegance and heritage of The Greenbrier. Experience this jewel of classic American resorts and come to understand its draw of over 200 years. A journey brimming with the history of America begins in Washington, D.C. As arrival times will vary, there is no scheduled sightseeing today. Spend the day as you wish, exploring the city independently.

A picture-perfect day in D.C. starts at the White House Visitor Center, seeing artifacts from the White House collection. Take a tour of D.C.’s world-famous memorials and monuments, including the National World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Uncover treasures of the Smithsonian Institution with free time to visit any of the museums surrounding the National Mall – perhaps you’ll take one small step into space exploration at the National Air and Space Museum, or explore facets of the nation’s story at the National Museum of American History. This evening, gather with your fellow travelers for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant followed by a twilight tour to see more of the capital’s iconic marble and granite monuments.

This morning, visit Arlington National Cemetery. A narrated tour takes you to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Kennedy gravesites. This afternoon, make a stop at historic Front Royal for some free time before traveling through the beautiful mountains of West Virginia to White Sulphur Springs, arriving at The Greenbrier, the world-class resort that’s been welcoming guests since 1778. Set off on a horse-drawn sleigh ride,* relishing the classic holiday atmosphere. This evening, dine** amid the grandeur of this historic resort.

With a storied past to explore and every resort luxury available to you, it’s time to enjoy all The Greenbrier has to offer. This is a place steeped in history, from its earliest days when its natural mineral springs drew guests to “take the waters,” to its long-established status as an elite retreat, where five sitting presidents had already stayed before the Civil War. Imagine these same grounds, repurposed by the U.S. government as well as the army during periods of war over the centuries. Get to know this vast property on a guided tour. The rest of the day is yours to spend as you please throughout the resort. Fill it with relaxing pastimes*** such as croquet, horseback riding, swimming, or shopping, enjoy a traditional afternoon tea, or try your luck at the Greenbrier Casino Club. Enjoy dining at the resort once again this evening.
