Williamsburg Rises Anew Through Rockefeller Gift
Historic Williamsburg sees a new phase in its restoration as John D. Rockefeller Jr. adds a priceless collection of 10 434 British Headquarters Papers to Colonial Williamsburg Inc. The papers cover 1779 to 1783 with Washingtons letters and prisoner records, fueling the living museum aim. The effort, led by Rev William A. R. Goodwin and Rockefeller, preserves colonial era history amid rapid revival.
