Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum
Museums / Galleries, Colonial Williamsburg
Fodor's Review:
The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, within the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, showcases American "decorative usefulware" -- toys, furniture, weather vanes, coffeepots, and quilts -- within typical 19th-century domestic interiors. There are also folk paintings, rustic sculptures, and needlepoint pictures. Since the 1920s, the 2,000-piece collection has grown from the original 400 pieces acquired by the wife of Colonial Williamsburg's first and principal benefactor.
