Episode 102: The Ghosts of Colonial Williamsburg

The Way of Improvement Leads Home: American History, Religion, Politics, and Academic life. - A podcast by John Fea

Our guest on this episode, public historian Alena Pirok, explains how John D. Rockefeller's vision of Colonial Williamsburg eventually gave way to a vision of the site championed by an early 20th century clergyman who saw ghosts. Join us for a conversion on Pirok's new book, The Spirit of Colonial Williamsburg: Ghosts and Interpreting the Recreated Past.  Learn more about your ad choices.
