WILLIAMSBURG — The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Colin G. and Nancy N. Campbell Archaeology Center on Friday, April 21.

The archaeology center, to be located across the street from the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg, is slated for completion in 2025.

Plans are for the center to be open to the public seven days a week, “offering guests an interactive window into the Foundation’s current archaeological projects as well as the 60 million artifacts that currently make up the archaeological collection,” it said.

The Foundation views the Campbell Archaeology Center as one of its signature projects leading up to the commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
