About this title

Synopsis

A Window on Williamsburg is an intimate glimpse of the 18th-century city, its gardens and greens, its buildings great and small, its crafts, and its people. The Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg embraces 130 acres, the heart of the old city. Several main buildings and many outbuildings that did not survive the years have been reconstructed on their original foundations after extensive archaeological investigation and historical research. In addition, 90+ acres of colorful gardens and greens have been recreated, using only plants known to the 18th century colonists. Photographs prominently tell the story of the buildings, garden, and people, with small paragraphs of text throughout for added information.
