Maymont Lecture: Colonial Williamsburg, The First 100 Years

As The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation celebrates its 100th anniversary, explore the remarkable story behind the world's largest U.S. history museum and its evolving role in preserving and interpreting America's past. Join two speakers from The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation: Katie McKinney (title: Margaret Beck Pritchard, Curator of Maps and Prints) and Neal Hurst (title: Curator of Textiles and Historic Dress at The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) for a special lecture exploring a century of preservation, collecting and education at Colonial Williamsburg.
From its groundbreaking preservation efforts to changing interpretations of America's shared history and founding ideals, Colonial Williamsburg has both reflected and helped shape national conversations about the past. As Colonial Williamsburg enters its second century, discover how the institution continues to pursue its enduring mission: "That the Future May Learn from the Past."
