Episode Details

Colonial Williamsburg just teamed up with Google to launch a groundbreaking digital platform on Google Arts & Culture, turning history into an immersive online experience. With over 60 stories, 3,500 digitized artifacts, and 360-degree virtual tours, users can explore colonial life, rare animal conservation, and historic sites like the Bray School—all from their screens. Seventy+ staff from 17 departments spent two and a half years building this, timed perfectly for America’s 250th anniversary. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about sparking civic awareness, especially as many Americans don’t know why 2026 matters. Google sees this as a tech-powered way to keep American innovation alive, while Colonial Williamsburg offers a deeper dive for those who’ve been and a doorway for those who can’t.
