Experience first hand what life was like for the brave men and boys of the 17th Century who built the first successful English Settlement on the main land of North America. At Jamestown Settlement, Williamsburg, VA you can explore a re-creation of this first Colony.
The life size re-creations include a military fort for you to explore. Walk through the modest homes, church and the Governors house, while all around you historical interpreters work as blacksmiths, and other period occupations.
You can discover the village of the Powhatan, home of Pocahontas and learn more about the relationship between these ‘locals’ and the new colonists. A walk to the Jamestown Pier and you’ll find replicas of the three ships which brought the settlers to Virginia. Explore the nooks and crannies aboard the Susan Constant, The Godspeed, and the Discovery.
In addition to the ‘living history’ exhibits you can also visit a museum filled with exhibition galleries covering the story of America’s beginnings. Artifacts and films will educate you on American history from the first Colony in 1607, to the Revolution nearly two centuries later. All in one day!
An historical adventure is waiting for you at Jamestown Settlement.
