  • 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.

  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Acquires Rare Paul Revere Tankard
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contacts: Robyn Liverant for the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg 212.472.6947 or [email protected] THE COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG FOUNDATION ACQUIRES RARE PAUL REVERE TANKARD * Williamsburg, VA (August 17, 2021)—The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has added to its renowned American and British silver collection a rare tankard made ca. 1795 by America’s best-known colonial silversmith, Paul Revere (1734-1818) of Boston, Massachusetts. Originally used as communal drinking vessels, tankards are among the largest forms produced in Revere’s shop. Approximately three dozen Revere tankards are known, and this one is typical of those from the 1790s, with tapering sides, midband, tall domed lid and pinecone form finials. “Colonial Williamsburg has long sought a significant example of Revere’s work,” said Ronald L. Hurst, the Foundation’s Carlisle H. Humelsine chief curator and vice president for museums, preservation and historic resources. “With its impressive size, fine detail, and excellent condition, this tankard fills a significant void in our American silver holdings.” A beloved American patriot, Revere is well known for his activities during the Revolutionary War. Widely recognized as an exceptional colonial silversmith, Revere also engraved prints and bookplates, ran an import business, established a bell and cannon foundry and started the first successful copper rolling mills in the new nation. Many of the objects made in his silver shop are well documented today due to the survival of his record books. Colonial Williamsburg’s Revere tankard stands nearly 10 inches tall and holds 48 ounces of liquid (usually wine, ale or cider), making it weighty to lift when full.

  • 1 2 3 4 5 a Brief Guide to Bruton Parish Church
    A BRIEF GUIDE TO BRUTON PARISH CHURCH (1) THE TOWER: The Tower was added to the church in 1769 and 1 houses the historic Tarpley Bell, given to Bruton Parish in 1761. It continues to summon worshippers every day. Inside the doorway of the Tower is a bronze bust of the Reverend W.A.R. Goodwin, rector, 1903-1909 and 1926-1938. (2) THE WEST GALLERY: Erected for The College of William and Mary students and the only original part of the interior, this gallery has a handrail with visible initials carved nearly 300 years ago. (3) THE HIGH BOX PEWS: These pews with doors were typical of unheated eighteenth-century English churches. Names on the doors 2 commemorate parish leaders and well-known patriots who worshipped here as college students or members of the colonial General Assembly. Names such as Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Marshall remind us of the important place of Bruton Parish in colonial and early U.S. history. (4) THE GOVERNOR’S PEW: Reserved for the royal governor and Council members, 3 this pew has an ornate canopied chair. In colonial days it had curtains for privacy and warmth. Church wardens and vestrymen occupied the pews nearer the altar. Today, the choir uses them. (5) THE BRONZE LECTERN: In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt presented the lectern to Bruton to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement and the establishment of the Anglican church at Jamestown. Near the lectern are the 4 gravestones of royal Governor Francis Fauquier and patriot Edmund Pendleton.

  • Learning from Yesterday . . . TODAY: a Day Trip
    Learning from Yesterday . TODAY A Day Trip into History Department of Education Outreach Department of School and Youth Group Tours 2 INTRODUCTION A class field trip should be more than a day away from the classroom! It is an opportunity for an educational experience that complements the regular course of study, and it is imperative that teachers plan and implement activities that create worthwhile learning experiences for their students. The best way to accomplish this goal is to adopt a three-part strategy: careful preparation beforehand; meaningful exercises to engage students while at the site; and a thorough debriefing after returning to the classroom. This guide is designed to assist teachers who are planning a field trip to, but may lack background knowledge or familiarity with, Colonial Williamsburg. It is also meant to suggest new approaches for educators who have made a visit to Colonial Williamsburg part of their students’ instruction for many years. There are more ideas than can be used for a single trip, but all are provided so teachers can select those that best meet their instructional objectives and student needs. In addition to specific sample lessons, extra material has been provided at the end of each section that can be further developed into lessons. Some lessons overlap in subject matter, but offer alternative strategies or target different skills. Each lesson can be adjusted according to grade level and the time available to the teacher. This guide is intended to make a trip to Colonial Williamsburg a more enjoyable and worthwhile learning venture for all involved. Section 1: BEFORE THE VISIT – Set the Stage for Learning Sample Lessons and Additional Lesson/Activity Suggestions Teachers set forth the objectives for the visit and provide opportunities to gather needed background information for students to understand the purpose of the field trip.
