Rooted in History
Step back into a foundational time in American history at Colonial Williamsburg. In 1926, the Reverend Dr. William Archer Rutherfoord Goodwin began to restore Williamsburg to its original colonial state with the financial backing of John D. Rockefeller Jr. Today, Colonial Williamsburg continues to bring the past to life as the world’s largest living history museum, featuring authentic 18th-century experiences and programming.
