Nearly 100 years ago, an unlikely combination of people- locals, America’s wealthiest citizens, academics, architects, and landscape architects rallied to restore Williamsburg. The story of the restoration is a microcosm of the evolution of historic preservation from novelty to the mainstream of American urban planning.
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and the Williamsburg community are forever moving forward in their collective understanding and interpretation of the past; this evolution is celebrated and revered throughout the world.
