WILLIAMSBURG — As part of our countdown to 2025, WYDaily is revisiting its most-read and favorite stories of the year.
Coming in at No. 4 was the announcement that Colonial National Historical Park had delivered documents to leaders at Yorktown Arts Foundation (YAF), ordering them to stop operating the gallery and vacate the historic Burcher Cottage property, located at 402 Main St.
On The Hill Gallery, the retail outlet for YAF, a 501(c)(3), operated as a National Park Service concession at Burcher Cottage since 2014.
Colonial National Historical Park said at the time it was in the process of transitioning the property to its leasing program and that it would be developing a request for proposals and beginning the leasing process for the property “in alignment with National Park Service policy.”
