  • Williamsburg Reserve Collection Celebrating the Orgin of American Style
    “So that the future may learn from the past.” — John d. rockefeller, Jr. 108 williamsburg reserve collection Celebrating the Orgin of American Style. 131109 colonial williamsburg Eighteenth-Century Williamsburg, the capital of the colony of Virginia, owed its inception to politics, its design to human ingenuity, and its prosperity to government, commerce and war. Though never larger in size than a small English country town, Virginia’s metropolis became Virginia’s center of imperial rule, transatlantic trade, enlightened ideas and genteel fashion. Williamsburg served the populace of the surrounding colonies as a marketplace for goods and services, as a legal, administrative and religious center, and as a resort for shopping,information and diversion. But the capital was also a complex urban community with its own patterns of work, family life and cultural activities. Within Williamsburg’s year round populations, a rich tapestry of personal, familial, work, social, racial, gender and cultural relationships could be found. In Williamsburg patriots such as Patrick Henry protested parliamentary taxation by asserting their right as freeborn Englishmen to be taxed only by representatives of their own choosing. When British authorities reasserted their parliamentary sovereign right to tax the King’s subjects wherever they reside, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, James Madison, George Washington and other Virginians claimed their right to govern themselves by virtue of their honesty and the logic of common sense. Many other Americans joined these Virginians in defending their countrymen’s liberties against what they came to regard as British tyranny. They fought for and won their independence. And they then fashioned governments and institutions of self-rule, many of which guide our lives today.

This first wave of openings is based on Virginia’s move into Phase 2 of the state’s Forward Virginia initiative. The foundation will open additional sites and expand programming in coming weeks and months pending government and public health guidance to further limit health risks associated with COVID-19. “We are eager to welcome employees and guests back to Colonial Williamsburg, but re- opening our public sites requires that we work together so that we all remain safe,” said President and CEO Cliff Fleet. “Our phased re-opening plan is based on state guidelines and is fully supported by our regional partners. With this plan in place, we can move at a measured pace toward our shared goal of a return to normal operations.” The following Colonial Williamsburg indoor and open-air sites will operate at reduced capacity and follow site-specific safety guidelines developed as part of the foundation’s COVID-19 business resumption plan, which is consistent with the state’s Phase 2 requirements: • The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg • Governor’s Palace • Capitol • Courthouse • Weaver trade shop • Carpenter’s Yard • Peyton Randolph Yard • Colonial Garden • Magazine Yard • Armoury Yard • Brickyard • George Wythe Yard • Custis Square, including tours The Williamsburg Lodge is currently open with additional hospitality operations expanding based on sustainable business demand.

  • The First Labor History of the College of William and Mary
    1 Integration at Work: The First Labor History of The College of William and Mary Williamsburg has always been a quietly conservative town. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century to the time of the Civil Rights Act, change happened slowly. Opportunities for African American residents had changed little after the Civil War. The black community was largely regulated to separate schools, segregated residential districts, and menial labor and unskilled jobs in town. Even as the town experienced economic success following the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the early 1930s, African Americans did not receive a proportional share of that prosperity. As the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation bought up land in the center of town, the displaced community dispersed to racially segregated neighborhoods. Black residents were relegated to the physical and figurative margins of the town. More than ever, there was a social disconnect between the city, the African American community, and Williamsburg institutions including Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. As one of the town’s largest employers, the College of William and Mary served both to create and reinforce this divide. While many African Americans found employment at the College, supervisory roles were without exception held by white workers, a trend that continued into the 1970s. While reinforcing notions of servility in its hiring practices, the College generally embodied traditional southern racial boundaries in its admissions policy as well. As in Williamsburg, change at the College was a gradual and halting process. This resistance to change was characteristic of southern ideology of the time, but the gentle paternalism of Virginians in particular shaped the College’s actions.

  • Chapter 9 - Institutions
    Chapter 9 - Institutions INSTITUTIONS Since its establishment in 1699, Williamsburg has been defined by its major public institutions. William & Mary and Bruton Parish Church preceded the city and were its first institutional partners. Virginia’s colonial government was based here from Williamsburg’s founding in 1699 until the capital was moved to Richmond in 1780. The Publick Hospital, which became Eastern State Hospital, was a significant presence in the city from 1773 until completing its move to James City County in 1970. Finally, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation traces its origin to 1926, when John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began the Colonial Capital restoration. William & Mary and Colonial Williamsburg comprise 43% of the city’s total land area. This chapter will discuss the impact of these two institutions on the city. 2021 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 9 - Institutions Page 9-1 Chapter 9 - Institutions WILLIAM & MARY William & Mary, one of the nation’s premier state-assisted liberal arts universities, has played an integral role in the city from the start. The university was chartered in 1693 by King William III and Queen Mary II and is the second oldest higher educational institution in the country. William & Mary’s total enrollment in the fall of 2018 was 8,817 students, 6,377 undergraduate, 1,830 undergraduate, and 610 first-professional students. The university provides high-quality undergraduate, graduate, and professional education comprised of the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Law, and Marine Science. The university had 713 full-time faculty members and 182 part-time faculty members in 2018/19. The university’s centerpiece is the Wren Building, attributed apocryphally to the English architect Sir Christopher Wren.

Protecting this character is by necessity a joint effort of the entire community. The City needs to work closely with its major institutions – William and Mary and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Cooperation and coordination with James City County and York County is also important, since the character and visual quality of the major entrance corridors into the City transcend jurisdictional boundaries. Important open space needs to be preserved, maintained and made accessible through efforts such as enforcement of the standards of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, public acquisition, delineation of greenbelt corridors, private dedication of easements, and passive recreational use.

  • Final Summary Report April 2, 2014
    Final Summary Report April 2, 2014 Prepared by the Planning Staffs of James City County City of Williamsburg York County INTRODUCTION In 2006, at the recommendation of the Regional Issues Committee and the three Planning Commissions, the governing bodies of James City County, the City of Williamsburg, and York County agreed to coordi‐ nate the timing of their next comprehensive plan reviews. Each of the three localities has an adopted comprehensive plan – a long‐range plan for the physical development of the area within its jurisdiction – and by state law these plans must be reviewed at least once every five years. While Williamsburg and York County conducted extensive reviews of their respective comprehensive plans, which were last up‐ dated in 2006 and 2005 respectively, James City County undertook a more targeted review of its plan since it was adopted fairly recently (2009). The purpose of the coordinated timing was to promote closer collaboration and communication concerning land use, transportation, and other comprehensive plan issues that cross jurisdictional boundaries. It was agreed from the outset that each locality would be conducting its own independent comprehensive plan review and developing its own plan, the coordi‐ nated timing of these reviews was intended to provide an opportunity for citizens of all three localities to talk about issues of mutual interest. This is just one of many examples of inter‐jurisdictional coopera‐ tion among the three localities. Others include the Williamsburg Area Transport system, the Williams‐ burg Regional Library system, the Regional Bikeway Plan, the Historic Triangle Bicycle Advisory Commit‐ tee, and the Regional Issues Committee.
