Opening of the Williamsburg Bray School

  • Nassau Street South Nassau Street Williamsburg, VA, 23185 United States (map)

Thursday, June 19, marks the public opening of the restored Williamsburg Bray School building, one of the earliest North American institutions in which Black children were formally educated, and the 89th original building in Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area. This admission-free site tells the complicated stories of the Bray School students and their teacher whose experiences placed them at the intersection of education, religion and slavery in 18th-century Virginia.
