The Story
of
Shields Tavern
In a very few months Shields Tavern will open again on the
Duke of Gloucester Street, 236 years after it closed following the lease
of the premises by the Shields family to one Daniel Fisher, who
operated the tavern for but a few months and then shut it down in
mid -1752.
Photo by Pat Saylor
During its heyday the tavern was, apparently, popular and successful. It was opened early in the 18th century by John Marot, a
former servant of William Byrd I, and following Marot' s death in 1717
it was operated by his widow Anne, daughter Anne, and son -in -law

ing available for Shields. This is the parking lot you have seen across
the size of John Marot' s estate, by the longevity of the tavern' s
operating life, and by the frequency with which the tavern was visited
When Colonial Williamsburg reconstructed the 18th- century
Marot residence in 1953, the intent was to create an exterior that matched the original, according to our research, but with an interior suited
to occupation by a present -day family. We did not have any plans then
for bringing the tavern back to life.
The curriculum report of 1976 proposed the revitalization of the

commercial life of 18th -century Williamsburg, pointing out that there
were many more stores, offices, ordinaries, taverns and other places of
business in the city in the 1700' s than are now evident. The contrast
between life on the street today and the energy and bustle when John
Frye and family arrive, as portrayed in " The Story of a Patriot," is
evident.
We believed, and continue to believe, that portraying and
recreating more of the commercial life of 18th- century Williamsburg is
of interest to our visitors and is faithful to our research efforts. A highly
successful manifestation
of that point of view is seen in the Greenhow
Store, the most authentic of our store interiors and the most reflective
of a known inventory of shop goods.
In addition, there will be new plantings along Francis Street,
shielding the parked vehicles from the street. When all is done, I
believe the new parking design will be less visible than before.
So, that is the story of Shields Tavern. It represents a fine
achievement in research and design. Our own forces are recreating the
interior according to plans drawn by architectural historians. The fur-
nishings, tableware, menu and service all will reflect careful considera-
tion of Marot' s and Shields' inventories and of the recorded experience
of contemporary tavern diners. It will add life to Duke of Gloucester
Street in a location favored by many, particulary when the Burgesses
were meeting, and will add new dimensions for our many hungry and
inquisitive visitors.
In the same spirit, the interior of Shields will reveal a lengthy

and very thorough research program. Architectural, archaeological,
documentary and field evidence has been assembled to recreate an environment that will give a 20th -century visitor some sense of 18th century dining.
Tavern dining is one of the most popular experiences for our
visitors. In spite of the compromises inherent in providing a service that
must satisfy the demands of large volume, modern sanitary codes and
changes in taste and in the availability of certain foods, we still offer
thousands of people each year an experience that has a good bit of the

Our success has been one of our problems. Everyone wants to
eat in a tavern and each year thousands are turned away. That is one
of the reasons I so welcomed the proposal to recreate Shields. It will
please and help educate a large number of visitors. And, if Shields is
successful, it will help contribute to our educational programs in another
way, by providing additional income.

More than 600 employees achieve `perfection' in attendance
By Pat Saylor
Let' s face it. Getting up and coming to work isn' t necessarily the
number one item on most people' s
favorite things to do" list - - least
at
not every day. There are dozens of
reasons
not to come
to work:
the
kids are sick; the dog misses you; it' s
too nice ( or too nasty) to be stuck indoors ( or outdoors) . Most anyone
can
probably
come
up with
a creative
reason to stay home.
Yet, coming to work is an important responsibility for all of us. The
reasons
are
numerous:
your
super-
visor really needs you to be there;
your co- workers might get stuck doing your work
as well as their own;
you might be the only person who is
truly qualified to do your job well;
and
on and
on.
The bottom
line is this - -your
absence could directly ( or indirectly)
have an impact on the experiences
had by our visitors and guests. This
hurts us all.

CW News
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em> was the official newspaper of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Publication began November 1940 under the title <em>The Restoration News</em> and was published under that name until February 1942. The title changed to <em>The News of Colonial Williamsburg</em> from February 1942 to May 1950. The name changed again in May 1950 to <em>Colonial Williamsburg News</em>. It is often collectively referred to by the abbreviated title <em>CW News</em>. Production switched to a digital-only format in 2018. The newspaper ceased production in 2020.</p>
<p>When using the <em>CW News</em>, it is important to remember that it reflects the realities of its time. For example, columns in the 1940s issues reported on the “News of the Colored People.” Separate reporting of African American and white social events was indicative of the segregation that was the legal norm in Virginia at the time.</p>
<p>The number of issues published every year varies. No papers were published between January 1943 and June 1, 1948. From August 1979 through May 1992, a supplemental publication titled <em>Colonial Williamsburg News Extra</em> was sometimes published to include additional information for staff, especially during those periods when the paper was published every other month. There are occasional Public Relations-style news releases published as <em>CW News Telenews</em> or sometimes just as <em>Telenews</em>.</p>
<p>The publication was produced principally for employees to inform them of important and relevant goings-on in a timely fashion. Although distributed fairly widely at CWF properties and now online, the paper covers topics including Restoration (and later Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) building openings, new programming, Historic Trades, special events, historical and architectural research, archaeological discoveries, new employee hires and retirements, employee activities and achievements, employee profiles and personal milestones, employee benefit and charity concerns, donor activities, museum exhibitions and acquisitions, film productions and book publications, educational initiatives, celebrity and VIP guest visits, restaurant and hotel news, product and reproductions releases, Merchant’s Square shopping, and relevant local area news.</p>
