Wonderful Historical Overvew
I LOVE Williamsburg so learning about the structures in the restored area adds to my love of the city. So glad there was foresight years ago to recognize the significance of the history of the city and its buildings.

“Restoring Williamsburg”
This excellent update of “Williamsburg: Before and After” is well worth the investment, even if you already have the previous edition. Much more expansive and inclusive, particularly regarding the enslaved community, without which Williamsburg would not have survived. It is a valuable addition to the Williamsburg collection.
