- Begun in 1928 with a shared vision by philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and rector of Bruton Parish Church, Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area turned the sleepy southern town into a national icon based on the mission that the future may learn from the past.
This documentary, which opens with a ten-minute period drama about the importance of Williamsburg in 1774, explains the mission of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin in the 1920s to restore Williamsburg to a colonial American icon. Through the painstaking research of curators, historians, and architects, the town s restoration plan is mapped out. Construction tradesmen from the twentieth century transform rundown exteriors into period edifices. Interiors are modified and restored to livable, sometimes elegant, period condition. This vast undertaking leads to mid-century historical interpretation about the importance of the people and ideas of Williamsburg that forged a new nation.

Thank God for these men.
I absolutely adore Williamsburg and have always loved visiting. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon this old documentary. What a gem!
Wouldnt it be great if we still got short documentary films like this before the main feature at movie theaters.
Ikr! The good old days are long gone! 🥺

Never happen. Sad, isn't it.
Wonderful video ! I love living here in Williamsburg and walking down the D.O.G. I learn something new everytime!
It is all about money money money now!!😢
My grandparents went to the Colonial Williamsburg Virginia park and the surrounding areas when they were young and all through their years. I their grandchild have continued that tradition and my son loves history and learning when we are there. Phenomenal place beautiful. I actually can't wait until 2026. It will be an experience to remember.
This was so great! Loved seeing all the particular care taken in all the research, matching so many details of the buildings and obtaining the closest facsimiles in furnishings! Thank you so much for taking us along for the "look-see"!!!! 👍🏻❤🌺

No skimping here on the research, materials and labor … that’s great .
Colonial Williamsburg is my favorite place on Earth. Have not been able to go in a while.
