WILLIAMSBURG — There is nothing quite like taking a look at the past.
The Colonial American capital, Williamsburg, has gone through quite a metamorphosis since its founding in 1638. In the 1930s, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., made the decision to restore the now rural, nearly forgotten town to a historical aesthetic to educate people on this important piece of the founding of the United States.
