In 1935, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, the wife of John D. Rockefeller, loaned a portion of her folk art collection to the Ludwell-Paradise House in Williamsburg, Virginia. These pieces later formed the foundation of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum. Today, located in Washington DC, the museum boasts one of the largest collections of American folk art. Visitors can explore a diverse array of artworks, each offering a unique glimpse into the cultural and artistic heritage of the United States.
