Description
The story of how the Williamsburg Inn came about began more than seventy years ago. In 1926, Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin convinced John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to undertake the restoration of Virginia's colonial capital. As the work progressed, the planners quickly realized that visitors to Colonial Williamsburg needed somewhere to stay overnight.
