EXTREMELY RARE Complimentary Admission pass 1938 "to the Exhibition Buildings of the Williamsburg Restoration". Card no. 2023 and signed in ink by B.W. Norton. Good condition with normal age. This exhibition was a major unveiling of the work done by Colonial Williamsburg Organization, funded largely by Rockefeller, in advance of extended work that would continue for many years.
