It was a wonderful experience to step back into history and see how the Rockefellers lived. The guided tour of the lovely home, preceded by the introductory film was excellent. The Rockefellers were good stewards of the wealth that God entrusted to them. This was displayed through their humility, generosity and philanthropy.

This was a cool tour! Chuck did a great job too. I had no idea that the Rockafellers funded colonial Williamsburg, or really anything about them. The house is set up like the 1940s, lots of antiques and fun things to see. We actually did this tour first upon arriving at the town, I was glad we did because we saw how much work went into its construction. We loved knowing about the town that they tore down and the buildings they built. All the research and money that went into the place. It was very informative!
