History of the Building
A Family Legacy
Sharon and Billy Scruggs opened the Fife and Drum Inn in 1999. This fulfilled a long-term plan of renovating a family property and turning it into an inn. The building was built by A.W. Hitchens (grandfather to Sharon). It was to replace the property he operated on the Duke of Gloucester Street as a general store. He sold that land in 1933 to John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller was purchasing most of the properties on the Duke of Gloucester. The buildings were to be rebuilt as the restoration of 18th-century Williamsburg.
Lovingly Restored Inn
Attention to Detail in Every Room
This distinctive bed and breakfast celebrates the importance of Williamsburg when it was the colonial capital, as it emphasizes the 20th-century restoration of the town through the experience of the Hitchens family. Each room of the inn contains antique prints and memorabilia that highlight historic Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown aspects. Billy and Sharon’s commitment to guests will ensure you have an extraordinary experience on your visit.
