"We Shall Carry On": Williamsburg in a Time of War


  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Williamsburg, VA USA (map)

The radical experiment in restoration that is Colonial Williamsburg was less than a decade old when the United States entered the Second World War. At a time that threatened the young museum’s existence, it was transformed into a military center that served the needs of soldiers in many ways and at every level. Please join the librarians at the Williamsburg Public Library for this presentation of how Colonial Williamsburg was transformed by the Second World War HERE. For a text version of this Zoom presentation, see the newsletter of the John D. Rockefeller Library at Colonial Williamsburg HERE.
