There is a variety of different, salient structures in Colonial Williamsburg. Buildings like the Capitol, the Magazine, Bruton Parish Church, and the Governor’s Palace all played important roles in Virginia’s history. Each definitely deserves to have remembrance on a commemorative coin, but only one building will be selected. In examining the history of the building, the relevance to history for learning and other objectives in times today, and the importance of the building, the Magazine should be on a commemorative coin.
The Magazine is truly significant to Colonial Williamsburg and history. The Magazine was built in 1775 by Governor Spotswood to protect the colony’s arms and muskets from Indians, slave revolts, riots, and pirates.
