Book Description
This guide gives a brief history of the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia, the official residence of the Royal Governors of the Colony of Virginia prior to the Revolutionary War in America. It was also the home of two of Virginia's post-colonial governors, including Thomas Jefferson, until the state capital was relocated from Williamsburg to Richmond in 1780. Though the palace burned in 1781, it was painstakingly reconstructed on its original site in the 1930s and is now part of the Colonial Williamsburg historic site.
