Happy to be able to help.Williamsburg:
I think Williamsburg is definitely on the itinerary now. I know it's more Colonial than heavily focused on the Revolution (though very cool there were several Revolutionary happenings there), but that's not a problem. The fact that it's a "living" place is a huge plus and I've wanted to go for years! I believe they discuss/show some of the harsh realities slavery there as well, which I know many places shy away from, so that's a major bonus. I've never heard of Great Wolf Lodge but will definitely take a look!
Colonial Williamsburg does, in fact, have programing relating to slavery and doesn't shy away from it. They frequently have walking tours relating to slavery as well as street performances and programing at the Hennage Auditorium.
It sounds like your daughter may enjoy interacting with the Nation Builders. They have two who interpret George Washington. Daniel Cross (Col. Washington) and Ron Carnegie (Gen. Washington) are both amazing...as are all of the National Builders.
