See the short movie before taking the house tour. Tours run every half hour. Worth stopping by. We learned a lot about the Rockefellers and the redevelopment of Williamsburg.
Take a break and visit the museum. You will not be disappointed. Building improvements are on the horizon.
Really enjoyed visiting. A look back three hundred years. It did take a little effort to find the entrance.
Enjoyed this museum. Collection started in the '30's by Ms AAR. A lady ahead of her time. She understood the need to protect Americana art. Extensive collection of paintings, china, silver, cabinetry, quilts, weaponry, musical instruments, and every day utilitarian items. Guides available and very helpful. Small cafe, convenient restrooms, gift shop.
The exhibit has been moved from Bassett Hall to the DeWitt Wallace. The exhibit is more 'sterile' in its new location and less intimate.
If you have had enough of touring colonial houses, try this museum for a well organized exhibit of pieces of America craft by the everyday persons living in the last few centuries. Furthermore, if the weather is too hot or cold, it is a perfect place to cool down or warm up. A small cafe in the building. Special exhibits...

This museum is manageable size-wise if you bring children. Bring younger children to the craft workshops - you will learn something too! Friendly workshop leaders.
This museum has attractions to interest men, women and children. Exhibits include old pirate money, furniture, weapons, and paintings.
