Entangled Agencies, Economic Contingencies, and Competing Ideologies: Williamsburg’s Complex Origins as a Place of National Historic Interest

Kim, Maximilian
Abstract
This thesis examines the complex origins of Williamsburg as a place of national historic interest, focused around the arrival of the railroad and its role in the transformative process. I mainly rely on surviving primary sources, such as newspaper advertisements, clippings, brochures, photographs, and other paraphernalia in conjunction with existing histories to build my analysis. In this research, I seek to challenge the linear and reductive models that are the backbone of commonly espoused historical narratives surrounding Williamsburg by revealing the multiscalar entanglements at play.
