Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

Established in 1926, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is the not-for-profit educational institution that preserves and operates the restored 18th-century capital of Virginia as a town-sized living history museum, telling the inspirational stories of our nation’s founding men and women.

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is the largest outdoor living history museum in the world.

The mission of the Foundation is “that the future may learn from the past.” In addition to the historic area itself, the Colonial Williamsburg Company Hospitality Group operates a world-class resort to accommodate one million visitors annually.

Among the many properties in the rich portfolio of offerings is the flagship of the Hospitality Group, The Williamsburg Inn.
