Since you mention Williamsburg - a month is a lot but as a central spot if you are willing to drive a bit to go to attractions you could find things to do for a month. Aside from Colonial Williamsburg, there is Busch Gardens, two Jamestown attractions, Yorktown - then head east to Norfolk and further to Virginia Beach. Go west to the James River Plantations (several) and then further to Richmond with several Civil War battlefields, the Confederate White House which is adjacent to the Museum of the Confederacy.
A whole month is tough in any one spot but you should be able to find things to do in this area. We can easily spend ten days in Colonial Williamsburg alone. If you are into history this is the area to explore as it is all here from the first settlement to WWII and beyond.
Double ditto. West of Richmond is Lexington, VA with the tomb of Robert E Lee at Washington & Lee University.
Next door to W&L is Virginia Military Institute with its museum and traditions. There are Civil War cannon balls embedded in the outer walls of the dorms. VMI is known as the West Point of the South. Tons of history in Lexington. One of our favorite spots and we still haven't explored it all.
