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.

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.

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.
