| Museums of Colonial Williamsburg |
| The Museums of Colonial Williamsburg, which include the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, allows each entity to keep its identity. The DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum houses the foundation's renowned collection of English and American decorative arts dating from 1600 through 1830. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, the nation’s leading center for the research, preservation and exhibition of American folk art, will maintain folk art presence at the Wallace Museum with the exhibitions: “Outside In: Folk Sculpture for the American Landscape,”“Treasures of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum" and “Principles of Freedom.” Construction of a new, expanded folk art museum began in late 2004 and will be completed in mid-2006. |

 | | Wendy, Co-op Member | | This is one of our family's favorite places. We buy yearly passes so we can go as much as we want. The museums are great. They are currently featuring an exhibit about quilting and because of that my 6 year old son and I are making a quilt by hand so he can learn how it's done and how much work is involved. They have some great educational resources in the bookstore at the visitors center, as well as the book called "My Travel Journal". This is a sort of workbook for kids that they can take pictures and write down their thoughts and when they are done have a little scrapbook. My 6 year old and I are working on his and he loves it. |
