W. A. R. Goodwin
William Archer Rutherfoord Goodwin (or W. A. R. Goodwin as he preferred; June 18, 1869 – September 7, 1939) was an Episcopal priest, historian, and author. As the rector of Bruton Parish Church, Goodwin began the 20th-century preservation and restoration effort which resulted in Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. He is thus sometimes called "the Father of the Restoration of Colonial Williamsburg."
