Synopsis:
Today the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation maintains this eighteenth century capital of colonial Virginia and continues to refine its authenticity almost daily. The result of this painstaking re-creation is enjoyed by millions of visitors who come to Williamsburg to see the buildings, eat at the taverns and ride in carriages through its peaceful streets. An atmosphere of colonial lifestyle evokes a vivid and romantic period in our history which, while contrasting dramatically with today's standards, offers a measure of entertainment as it promotes appreciation for present-day principles.
About the Author:

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Williamsburg has been meticulously restored and preserved as a living museum to reflect the beliefs of the time that stated traditional cities should be centers of government, learning, and religion. The entire town of Williamsburg, the 18th-century capital of Colonial Virginia, has been meticulously restored and preserved as a living museum. Williamsburg, named in honor of King William III, was designed to reflect the beliefs of the time that stated traditional cities should be centers of government, learning, and religion. The General Assembly of the government held its meeting in the college of William and Mary. many patriots came from Williamsburg and played major roles during the american Revolution. When Virginia broke its allegiance to the crown of England, Patrick Henry — a famous protestor of the various taxes imposed by the British — became the first governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson, a later governor, wrote the Declaration of Independence. Throughout this time, Williamsburg grew as a city, and many skilled craftsmaen plied their wares in their shops that lined the streets. The population grew because of what the town had a offer, and many new houses were built. Despite all this, Gov. Thomas Jefferson relocated the state capital to Richmond. The community survived as a market town because of the skilled craftsmen and as an education center because of the College of William and Mary. The Public Hospital, built in 1773, stayed open as well. The Reverend W. A. R. Goodwin was rector of Bruton Parish Church from 1903 to 1907. Recognizing the historical importance of the town of Williamsburg, he persuaded his friend, philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to become involved in his vision to restore and preserve its history. Because of their efforts, l Williamsburg exists today to reveal life of 18th-century america and preserve the memory of the contributions of its citizens to the development of the United states. Millions of visitors travel to Williamsburg each year to experience this part of history.
