about Historic Jamestowne:
Historic Jamestowne offers a wealth of activities for exploring the first permanent English settlement in North America.
Start your visit at the Visitor Center, with exhibits and a multi-media theater presentation about America's Birthplace, then visit the Archaearium to see some of the more than one million artifacts excavated; walk through New Towne, where the settlement grew beyond the fort walls and see the 17th-century landscape recreated with Virtual Viewers; tour the original 17th-century church tower and reconstructed 17th-century Jamestown Memorial Church; take a walking tour with a park ranger through the original settlement along the scenic James River; and watch costumed glassblowers at the Glasshouse.
The Archaearium's indoor exhibit halls house objects that belonged to Jamestown colonists 400 years ago, unearthed from the long lost James Fort site. Kids interested in the macabre can check out the forensic research on the remains believed to be those of Capt. Bartholomew Gosnold, a founding father of Jamestown.
