  • Colonial Williamsburg to Resume Limited Onsite Programming June 14
    The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation P.O. Box 1776 Williamsburg, Va. 23187-1776 colonialwilliamsburg.org Colonial Williamsburg to Resume Limited Onsite Programming June 14 Select sites to reopen at reduced capacity, changes to guest experience; face coverings and social distancing required for staff and guests inside foundation-owned buildings Colonial Williamsburg will resume limited public programming at select sites on June 14. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
