Entrance to the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg through the Public Hospital of 1773 

Among the many delights of the Colonial 

Williamsburg Foundation are its two 

world-class museums—the DeWitt Wallace 

Decorative Arts Museum and the Abby 

Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, 

together known as the Art Museums of 

Colonial Williamsburg. A busy schedule 

of changing exhibitions, lively musical 

presentations, and engaging programs attracts 

hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. 

The DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts 

Museum is located just one block from 

historic Duke of Gloucester Street and 

the bustling Merchants Square shopping 

district. The museum is home to a renowned 

collection of British and American fine and 

decorative arts ranging in date from 1600 

through the 1830s. Opened in 1985, the 

handsome 100,000-square-foot facility 


contains twenty-six exhibition galleries, as 

well as a state-of-the-art auditorium, the 

popular Colonial Williamsburg Museum 

Store, and the casual Museum Café. 

Creation of the complex was made possible 

by a generous gift from DeWitt and Lila 

Acheson Wallace, founders of Reader’s 

Digest. 

The DeWitt Wallace Museum hosts a 

broad array of regularly changing exhibitions 

that feature furniture, silver, ceramics and 

glass, paintings, prints and maps, tools and 

weapons, numismatics, musical instruments, 

textiles and much more. The collection has 

many strengths, including the world’s largest 

body of early Southern furniture, nationally 

important assemblages of English silver and 

pewter, a vast array of 18th-century clothing 

and textiles, and one of the most complete 

bodies of British ceramics outside England. 

Award-winning installations of these and 

other materials provide abundant context 

for the rich menu of historical, political 

and cultural programs offered daily in the 

contiguous Historic Area. 

Now located under the same roof as the 

DeWitt Wallace Museum, The Abby Aldrich 

Rockefeller Folk Art Museum was our 

nation’s first institution dedicated solely to 

the preservation and exhibition of American 

folk art. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. established 

the Folk Art Museum in 1957 in memory 

of his wife, 

Abby, and her 

leading role in the 

appreciation and 

study of American 

folk art. Mrs. 

Rockefeller gave 

the core collection 

of 424 objects 

to the Colonial 

Williamsburg 

Foundation in Folk Art Quilt 

1939. Today the 

collection of more than 5,000 pieces of 

American folk art includes works dating from 

the 1720s to the present. 

The Folk Art Museum moved from its 

original location to enlarged quarters adjacent 

to the DeWitt Wallace Museum in 2007.

A Rich and Varied Culture: The Material World of the Early South 

at the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum 


Capacious galleries in the new facility host 

changing exhibitions of folk paintings, 

drawings, furniture, ceramics, whirligigs, 

weathervanes, carvings, toys, quilts, 

needlework, textiles, musical instruments, 

and other works representing the diverse 

cultural traditions and geographical regions 

of the nation. 

The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg 

are open every day of the year and offer 

specialized gallery tours and a host of 

programs for adults, young people, and 

families. Among regular offerings are “Teen 

Takes: A New Angle on Art,” an audio tour 

produced by teens for their peers. Handson 

family activities relate to museum 

experiences. “Magical World” explores 

the world of art through the eyes of a 

conservator by alternating hands-on activities 

and a teaching component to reveal how 

interconnected science and art truly are. A 

large Education Studio makes a wide range of 

such discovery learning possible. 

Throughout the year, the Hennage 

Auditorium hosts speakers, performers 

and concerts that enrich experiences in 

the museum and in the Historic Area. The 

Foundation brings scholars in many fields for 

symposia on topics exploring material culture 

of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. 

Museums Online: 

The Art Museums of Colonial 

Williamsburg offer online access to the 

collections through eMuseum on Colonial 

Williamsburg’s website www.history.org/ 

museums. Images, descriptions, and object 

histories are available to scholars, historians, 

collectors, and the general public. In 

addition to objects currently on view in the 

museums and historic buildings, eMuseum 

makes available portions of the collections 

that are too fragile or light sensitive for 

frequent exhibition.

In the Future : The Museums’ New Entrance Design 

The Art Museums are also 

planning to add an additional 65,000 

square feet of exhibition and guest 

services spaces, including a new 

street-level entrance on Nassau Street. 

The new addition will also feature a 

larger restaurant, an event space and 

eight exhibition galleries. 

The Art Museums of Colonial 

Williamsburg, entered through the 

reconstructed Public Hospital of 

1773, are located at the corner of 

Francis and South Henry streets 

(325 West Francis Street). The Art 

Museums are open every day of the 

year, 10 a.m. until 7 p.m., through 

December. 

Additional information about 

current and future exhibitions and 

program listings is available on

Shop Local... Made In Williamsburg 

“The more local the better,” says owner 

Holly Shields (pictured at left), who makes 

all the bracelets and Master Craftsmen 

jewelry herself. The shop also offers machine 

engraving by the staff and hand engraving by 

Herb LaFountaine, a master hand engraver, 

for a wide variety of its pieces. For those 

who believe in buying American, all of the 

metal used at Master Craftsmen is purchased 

in the United States. All the pewter is 

hand spun and polished in Richmond and 

Williamsburg. The staff also works with local 

master silversmiths who do holloware repairs 

and design custom orders.

BINGLEY’S CORNER SPAWNED 

BENSCHOTEN & CARTER INSURANCE AGENCY 

THE OLDEST FAMILY INSURANCE BUSINESS 

IN THE HISTORIC TRIANGLE 

Benschoten & Carter Insurance 

Agency is the oldest family 

insurance business in the Historic 

Triangle. The original office was 

located on Duke of Gloucester 

Street above where the Trellis 

restaurant now stands. 

The business began with two 

brothers from West Point, Brantley 

and Horace Henderson. In 1955 

Dick Benschoten bought the 

business from them and, along 

with four other investors, started 

the Queens Lake Development Co. 

This entailed the development and 

sale of close to 500 acres. In 1959, 

Benschoten decided to make this his 

full-time commitment. 

He sold shares of the insurance 

agency to James D. (Jim) Carter III. A 

Washington and Lee graduate and William 

and Mary Law School graduate, Jim 

was working for Aetna as a field rep in 

Richmond at the time and would call on Mr. 

Benschoten as part of his employment. They 

joined hands, with Jim running the insurance 

business and Benschoten selling lots in 

Queens Lake. 

In 1962 John Richmond (Jack) Carter 

graduated from the College of William 

and Mary and was hired to manage the 

life insurance department. In 1965 Dick 

Benschoten died, and the business was 

owned going forward by the two brothers, 

Jim and Jack Carter. Jack ran the personal 

lines insurance and sold life insurance, and 

Benschoten & Carter Insurance Agency 1991 

Lee Carter, Jack Carter, Jim Carter, Cathy Carter Huff 

Jim sold commercial insurance. In addition, 

Jim developed Queens Lake by building 

the infrastructure and selling the lots, until 

1985 when Queens Lake was completely 

developed. Over the years Jim continued the 

real estate business, developing Longhill Gate 

and Turners Neck subdivisions. 

In 1965 the office moved to 645 

Penniman Road, in the area then known as 

Bingley’s Corner. (Read more on pages 20-21 

about this exciting corner in Williamsburg.) 

Jim and Jack served the community with 

the desire to offer the best service with 

multiple lines of insurance products. As 

an independent agency, they could offer 

competitive rates for a variety of individuals 

and businesses. A prospective client could 

purchase auto, home, life, and commercial 


insurance at one 

location. 

With multiple 

company affiliations, 


could price shop 

renewals, keeping clients 

satisfied, who, in turn, 

would refer their friends 

and family. Over the 

years almost 90 percent 

of new accounts have 

come from word of 

mouth, with service 

and competitive pricing 

always the company’s 

top priority. 

In 1985 Cathy Carter Huff, Jack’s daughter 

and a graduate of VCU, joined the business. 

She was followed in 1986 by Jim’s son, Lee 

Carter, a graduate of JMU. They came in as 

producers, selling all lines of insurance. Both 

worked hard to learn the insurance business, 

and each received the designation of Certified 

Insurance Counselor offered through the 

PIA, a national insurance organization 

dedicated to educating and empowering 

insurance agents. 

Cathy and Lee were also 

licensed in real estate, 

and for many years 


was known for selling 

insurance and real estate. 

Eventually Jim, the head 

real estate broker, retired, 

ending decades of the 

combined services. 

Today, Benschoten & 

Carter Insurance Agency 

is a thriving independent 

insurance agency, run 

by Lee Carter and Cathy 

Carter Huff. Jim Carter is 

Lee Carter, 

Cathy Carter 

Huff 

retired, and Jack is deceased. 

The staff includes commercial and personal 

lines customer service representatives, the 

majority of whom speak Spanish, enabling 

the company to service the Spanish-speaking 

community as well. 

As an independent agent, Benschoten & 

Carter uses some large and some more regional 

carriers. The company has been doing business 

with the majority of them for twenty-plus 

years, establishing strong relationships and 

good claim service. 

Benschoten & Carter companies are 

A-rated, ranging from Chubb for higher value 

homes to Northern Neck for more rural areas. 

They also have access to several brokerage 

houses for hard-to-place insurance risks. Most 

often they want to package the automobile 

and the home policy, in order to give the 

multi-policy discount. In the commercial lines 

they can quote a risk with one or multiple 

companies, seeking to get the best fit.

As told by Billy Scruggs, present 

owner of Retro’s and The Fife & Drum 

Inn (the only downtown Inn in Historic 

Williamsburg). Billy grew up around Bingley’s 

Corner and tells his story. 

In the mid-1930’s to early 40’s, Ellis Bingley 

opened Bingley’s Grocery (where Wawa is now 

located) on what was to be called Bingley’s 

Corner. Ellis and his wife lived in a house 

behind the store, now the location of the Animal 

Clinic & Wellness Center. Bingley’s had 

their own butcher, as did most neighborhood 

groceries in those days. Buck, Ellis’ oldest son, 

was the butcher. The bologna sandwich was a 

big item and I would order a nice thick slice; 

Buck would cut it as thick as you wanted. I have 

fond memories of those bologna sandwiches served 

on white bread. 

When I was 12 years old, I delivered the 

Richmond Dispatch newspaper. They would drop 

off the newspapers at Bingley’s where I would 

pick them up for delivery. I remember a stove 

back in the corner of the store where the men 

would gather on cold days to stay warm and 

chat. Oh, those were the days. Ellis served in 

World War I, and shared his stories about the 

war with many. He died at around 104 years of 

age. 

In the 1950’s the Rash’s Amoco Service Station 

was owned by Mr. Rash, and he had 4 boys

named Johnny, Steve, James, and Charlie. They 

were there as long as I can remember. 

Damian’s Citgo Service Station, across the 

street from Rash’s Amoco, was another gathering 

place where local men talked about anything 

and everything going on in Williamsburg. Those 

gatherings were some of my fondest memories 

at Damians Citgo. Magruder Elementary 

School was across the street from Damian’s 

Citgo. It was established in the 1950’s and is 

still in that location. 

Another establishment in the middle of 

Penniman Road and Springfield Terrace was 

a convenience store called Tippy Toes. They 

had the best candy selection, and the jars were 

always filled to the top. You could get 5 pieces 

of candy for a penny. I loved that place! 

We would go to get a 15-cent hot dog and a 

banana split at Nottingham’s Pharmacy located 

next to Bingley’s Grocery in the 1960’s. They 

would have balloons on the wall that you would 

choose. A piece of paper was in the balloon that

Sal’s by Victor, a Dining Experience 


Sal’s by Victor is an exquisite restaurant located at 1242 Richmond Road in Williamsburg. If you 

love Italian food, this place has every Italian dish you could ever want made with fresh ingredients 

and served by a well-trained staff. Ranging from delicious, hand-tossed, fluffy crusted pizzas to 

delectable flounder francese, you won’t be disappointed by any selection you make. 

Customer Review #1 - Veal Saltimbocca 

“I haven’t had veal in years so I ordered the Veal Saltimbocca. It’s tender veal topped with a slice of 

prosciutto di Parma and a slice of fontina cheese with sage in a white wine sauce. This topped any 

veal dish I have ever had. From now on when I want veal, this is the one that I will crave.” 


Customer Review: #2- Napoleon 

“The Napoleon was delicious. It consists of fresh mixed grilled vegetables with a slice of fresh tomato 

and fresh mozzarella cheese sprinkled with extra virgin olive oil. The vegetables were perfectly 

cooked and the slice of mozzarella really made the dish pop. I would definitely order this again.” 

Customer Review #3- Grilled Shrimp 

“I had the Grilled Shrimp. Freshly caught from the gulf, on a bed of sautéed spinach and drizzled 

with lemon vinaigrette. The shrimp tasted very fresh and was cooked to perfection. With the lemon 

vinaigrette it really gave it a great flavor. I will get this again when I come back.” 


Customer Review #4 - Seafood Risotto 

“The Creamy Seafood Risotto is made with carnaroli rice with wild caught gulf shrimp, fresh 

scallops and local lump of crab meat. It was the best Risotto I have ever had. The scallops were 

cooked to perfection and the crab meat was succulent. The proportions left me with enough to take 

home with me, and the prices are great. I would recommend this restaurant to all of my friends. 

We will be coming back.” 

Customer Review #5 - Cannoli and Cappuccino 

“Well, you can’t go to an Italian restaurant without having a Cannoli with a frothy hot cappuccino. 

It’s a pastry filled with sweetened delicious ricotta cheese and chocolate chips. I’ve had many before, 

but the pastries made here have a crisp, fresh taste to them. I’ll be ordering a few to go.”

Deciding to open a smokehouse was easy, 

deciding on what style of BBQ was the 

hard part. I decided to go with the purest 

concept… 

Texas BBQ. 

The process 

is preparing 

and slowly 

smoking 

the 

meats for 

maximum 

tenderness 

and flavor. At Rocco’s we smoke all our 

meats in custom-built smokers. We use our 

dry rub, oak and hickory woods for flavor. 

And, of course, we make three great BBQ 

sauces. 

In addition to our Smokehouse menu we 

offer a selection of steak, seafood and chicken 

dishes. If you like a great burger, Rocco’s 

offers a steroid-free, 

all-natural one. If you 

like sandwiches, you 

have to try our rib 

eye steak sandwich, 

or what about a crab 

cake? How about a 

great Reuben? We 

also offer a vast kid’s 

menu, from chicken fingers and mac and 

cheese to steaks and ribs. Rocco’s offers a full 

bar with a selection of local draft beers and 

freshly baked pies and cakes.

Customer Review: #1 Yellow Tail Red Snapper 

“I never thought I would order a whole fish, but I decided to order the Yellow Tail Red 

Snapper. It’s the whole cooked fish served on a bed of lemon and ginger-soaked rice and cherry 

and sunburst tomatoes. It was an absolute flavor burst. The fish fell right off of the bone and 

blended well with the rice, and the presentation was amazing. I’m glad I decided to try it. I 

would recommend this place to anyone. Great food, great service.” 


What Our Customers Are Saying...... 

Customer Review: #2 Ahi Tower 

“I started with the Ahi Tower. It’s a tower of Ahi sushi, crab meat, avocado, papaya, and 

habanero sauce served with homemade chips. The crab and papaya give it a sweet taste while the 

Ahi and habanero sauce make for a perfect balance. I would definitely order this again and again.” 

Customer Review: #3 Strawberry Shortcake 

“Strawberry Shortcake is a common dessert, but I’ve never seen it made this way. It was served 

on a homemade biscuit and consisted of strawberry puree, strawberries, whipped cream, ice 

cream, and chocolate drizzle. I never would have thought to use a biscuit, but it was more than 

delicious.” 



Fat Tuna Grill Is a Local Oyster Bar and Grill 

Co-Owned by Two of Williamsburg’s 

Own Talents 

Chef Ken Brown grew up with a love of 

seafood. As a young boy he developed a love 

of fishing in freshwater and saltwater and also 

enjoyed crabbing with his family. 

He discovered his niche for cooking as 

a teenager in a local family-owned Italian 

restaurant in upstate New York. While 

working as a prep cook there, Ken decided to 

pursue culinary arts as a career. 

He began his culinary career by attending 

the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde 

Park, N.Y., and interning at the Four Seasons

“WHAT’S UP?” 

AROMAS 

COFFEEHOUSE CAFÉ 

Aromas, an authentic coffeehouse café for 

the past 14 years, is redefining the term 

“coffeehouse”! Young and old alike, from all 

walks of life, have embraced Aromas as their 

favorite gathering spot and home-away-fromhome. 

Among other items luring you in are 

mouth-watering baked goods and coffees. 

Assorted pastries are painstakingly prepared 

very early each morning by their bakery chefs 

using only the finest ingredients and Aromas’ 

own recipes. Much more than a coffeehouse, 

Aromas offers fresh-casual dining at its best, 

with healthy options included in its extensive 

menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All 

items are made to order and served with 

surprising speed in a warm, comfortable 

atmosphere. 

Aromas roasts its own gourmet coffees 

in-house and carries a selection of over 60 

loose leaf teas. Beer and wine are available as 

well. A selection of creative dessert drinks, 

such as the Irish Cream Coffee Smoothie, 

accompanies a broad dessert menu of housebaked 

specialties. Try the Tiramisu, Vegan 

Chocolate Cake, or Colossal Apple Pie a la 

mode, just to name a few. 

When visiting in Colonial Williamsburg’s 

Merchants Square or City Center in Newport 

News, stop in for a refreshing pick-me-up, 

grab a unique gift, or linger and stay for 

lunch or dinner. Enjoy patio seating at both 

locations, for people and pets. 

Music, Fun and Free WiFi always! “Meet 

me at Aromas......for Coffee, Comfort and 

Cuisine!”

CORNER CUPBOARD HAS OVER 

34 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE 

WITH AMISH FURNITURE 


Corner Cupboard Furniture Company 

deals with many Amish woodworking shops 

throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. 

This furniture is handcrafted of solid wood 

and is made to order in these shops, not 

built on an assembly line or in a factory. It is 

made one piece at a time, which allows for 

customization that typical furniture stores can’t 

offer. 

The company buys the furniture unfinished, 

DIRECT from the Amish and some 

Mennonites. There are no wholesalers or 

distributors involved. Buying direct from these 

shops allows Corner Cupboard to sell highquality 

furniture at surprisingly low prices. 

The furniture is transported from the many 

workshops to one of their Amish finishers 

where it is hand sanded to perfection, stained, 

and has a catalyzed varnish applied for a 

consistent, satin-smooth, protective finish. 

The truck driver then goes back to the finisher, 

inspects the furniture, and blanket wraps 

it all to be taken back to Corner Cupboard 

Furniture Inc. This is a complicated process, 

but it has some great advantages. 

The furniture is of the highest quality and 

handcrafted in the USA, which allows 

for a huge variety of combinations for 

the customer. There are approximately 

60 different chairs and hundreds of table 

styles with custom shapes, sizes, legs, 

species of wood, and color choices, as well 

as approximately 25 bed styles with lots of 

matching pieces that can be customized. 

Customers can purchase furniture that 

fits their specific needs at a very reasonable 

price for their homes, and they can create 

furniture, built to last a lifetime, that reflects 

their personal style and personality. Best of all 

they don’t have to settle for what other stores 

have in stock or only what manufacturers 

have to offer. The upholstered furniture not 

only comes in traditional styles and fabrics, 

but also in river and nautical styles and 

fabrics. Indoor and 

outdoor wicker are also 

available. 

Similar furniture 

may be found at a 

few other stores, but 

it’s typically bought 

through middlemen or 

distributors at an added 

cost. 

Corner Cupboard’s 

mattresses are made by 

Custom Comfort by 

Winn. Any mattress can 

be customized to fit the 

customer’s specific needs 

and wants. 

Customers will also 

find accessories such as 1,000 decorative flags 

and Amish-made wrought-iron flag holders, 

nautical items, Tervis insulated tumblers, and 

more. 

If you’re looking for options or choices in 

furniture and accessories different than what 

you find at other stores, check out Corner

Plum Pudding, 

the best of the fest! 

That is how our mother described the name 

Plum Pudding, noting her Irish and English 

heritage. How appropriate! Because truly our 

shop is the best of many worlds for us and for 

others. 

When the 

decision was 

made to leave 

the corporate 

life behind 

and opt for 

a simpler 

existence, we 

had no idea 

what we were getting ourselves into. 

Oh, there was a wonderfully executed 

business plan in place. The mission, a 

small shop that would provide an excellent 

place where anyone could find a treasure 

at a reasonable price and an honest income 

for two sisters, offering an outlet for our 

creativity and a simpler vocation. Buying 

estates would provide an eclectic array 

of goods. New and used items could be 

given a bit of love, or be repurposed or 

donated, without worrying about an owner’s 

apprehension. 

That being decided, becoming a 

consignment shop would not be the path 

taken. High on our list was how to give back 

to the community. The choice was to sell 

items to benefit local charities, and donate 

clothes, furniture, and household goods to 

them, and even one-on-one assistance, when 

possible. 

The stars were aligned, all was right with 

the business plan, and away we went. Four 

months of refit to create the showroom, and 

the doors were open. The hope for a simpler 

lifestyle was the first tower to crumble. The 

physical work is daunting, the needed hours 

are sometimes quite insane and, believe it or 

not, even sisters can disagree on occasion. 

But would we trade it for a quieter life? 

Absolutely not. 

The days of physical labor, tons of stress, 

hours of research and endless cleaning are 

countered by giggling over paperwork and/ 

or laughing out loud about silly mistakes. 

The wonder of so many new friends who 

visit regularly for a cookie and a chat and the 

thought of finding that diamond in the rough 

fuel our imagination. Adding to the everyday 

excitement of cultivating friendships and 

uncovering treasures, we are especially pleased 

to have received a “Best of Williamsburg” 

award for 2013. 

Meeting people from all over the world 

and connecting with customers through the 

online store is great. Providing what we can 

to local charities in whatever form brings our 

fulfillment to full circle. These are the rewards 

that were never written in the business plan: 

the joys and blessings of working together as 

a family, being part of the community, being 

creative, and learning every day. 

Although the mission statement hasn’t really 

changed, our universe is much expanded. 

We invite you to visit, maybe find a treasure, 

make a friend and, for sure, share a cookie.

I still haven’t used

the Keratin

Since 1963, 

Premium Pizza with a 

Personal Touch 

When Jim Grote was a 13-year-old in 

Columbus, Ohio, he took a job making 

pizzas. By the time he was a sophomore at 

Ohio State University, the pizza business had 

hooked him for life. 

Jim bought that original shop in 1963 for 

$1,300, and kept the clever original name – a 

play on a Latin phrase that means “to give a 

good thing.” It was a perfect way to describe 

what would become his three-part mission: to 

create a superior product, hire great people, 

and promote goodwill in business and the 

community. 

“When folks arrived to pick up their 

pizza, I had them stop by to say ‘hi’ to Nancy 

and the kids,” Jim remembers. “It was great, a 

home filled with friends and neighbors.” 

Today, the family-owned company remains 

a favorite 

in 

Columbus 

and well 

beyond, 

with more 

than 150 

locations in 

six states. 

Working 

with his daughter, Donatos Chairman Jane 

Grote Abell, Jim remains a guiding influence 

at the company, making sure his original 

values continue to shape everything they do. 

Jim’s generosity is about more than the 

ample premium pizza toppings, the Edge to 

Edge® mantra the restaurants are known for. 

It’s also evident in the way they care about 

serving their customers the very best pizza, 

the way they treat their associates like family, 

and the way they always strive to be a good 

neighbor and positive community influence. 

The result: an incredibly loyal fan base that 

just keeps growing. 

As the business grew, Jim raised his family 

in a home behind that first pizza shop. This 

mix of work, friends and family helped define 

Donatos’ distinctive culture.
