History focused store in Williamsburg, Virginia

Located at 103 East Duke of Gloucester Street in Williamsburg, Virginia, the Colonial Williamsburg Magazine is a historic tourist attraction that is currently closed for restoration. The Magazine was built in 1715 to store arms and ammunition for the defense of the colony, and it played a significant role in the events leading up to the American Revolution. The restoration project, scheduled to be completed in 2025, will coincide with the anniversary of the 1775 gunpowder incident that took place at the Magazine. One of the ongoing research projects at Colonial Williamsburg is focused on solving the riddle of the Powder Magazine's perimeter wall, shedding new light on the building's history. The last restoration of the Magazine was done in 1938, making it 80 years since the walls were last studied in detail.
