Mapping Areas of Interest
Colonial Williamsburg
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation owns a significant percentage of the total land in Williamsburg, much of which is run as a "living museum" in which reenactors engage in colonial-era activities and give tours to visitors. This area includes many unique attractions, exhibits, and gift shops.
William & Mary
William & Mary is the other primary landowner and employer in Williamsburg. Work is ongoing to keep William & Mary up-to-date as the campus evolves; most years there are one or two construction projects completed. Jacob Hall (on osm) works there and has spent considerable time mapping campus, feel free to reach out to them if you are interested in contributing to the area.

Williamsburg and the surrounding area may be of particular interest to OpenHistoricalMap mappers, due to its proximity to the Jamestown Settlement, its time as the Capital of Virginia, and now as a "living museum." The built landscape along Duke of Gloucester Street, for example, has changed drastically over the years.
