Through this careful crafting and attention to detail, Colonial Williamsburg is singularly unique in the visitor experience that it offers. Similarly, the Merchants Square “experience” leaves each and every visiting guest with a “one-of-a-kind” impression that will come from a carefully curated collection of merchants, restaurants, and retail offerings that are vetted and assembled with a firm understanding of the Merchants Square brand and it’s prestigious affiliation with Colonial Williamsburg. The Colonial Williamsburg visitor experience is deeply intertwined with the retail, dining and “Downtown Events” offerings of Merchants Square and Prince George Street Merchants. Merchants Square is the epicenter of where locals, students and visitors most often interact with one another — this offers an important touch point for the local visitor and a chance to create a lasting a memorable positive event. Visitors who have positive experiences as they interact with locally-owned and prominent national merchants are encouraged to return on subsequent visits as they make lasting connections. Merchants Square currently offers a diverse canvas of retail centered attractions for all three consumer groups.

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

    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.

    Black History Month 2019: Special Exhibition; Featured Programs Mark 40 Years of African-American Interpretation

    Black History Month 2019: Special Exhibition; Featured Programs Mark 40 Years of African-American Interpretation WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Jan. 21, 2019) – This February Colonial Williamsburg celebrates Black History Month by showcasing the best of its year-round African-American programming, including the new “Music was my Refuge,” as well as tours and the grand opening Feb. 18 of a special exhibition at the Raleigh Tavern: “Revealing the Priceless: 40 Years of African-American Interpretation.” The exhibition in the Raleigh’s Daphne and Billiards rooms memorializes by name each of the African-American men and women known to have lived in the city during the period Colonial Williamsburg interprets, from 1763 to 1785. It also examines the contributions of hundreds of interpreters, administrators, historians, archeologists, curators and community partners who have contributed to telling the story of over half of the city’s 18th-century population. “So often our shared American story is told with brief reference to nameless ‘slaves.’ Early African Virginians were, first and foremost, people like us with lives, loves, hopes and struggles, as nearly all lived in legal bondage while others in society demanded unalienable rights,” said Actor-interpreter Stephen Seals, program manager for the 40th anniversary commemoration. “Our goal is to share their enduring stories. In February and throughout 2019 we invite guests to experience our remarkable new exhibition honoring them and those who tell their stories, along with the powerful interpretive programming we present every day.” Black History Month programming highlights include the new “Music was my Refuge,” an uplifting journey from the 18th century to today, presented at 3 p.m.
  • Chapter 9 - Institutions

    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.
