Jamestown Settlement, a museum of 17th-century Virginia, explores America's first permanent English colony through film, galleries and living history in outdoor re-creations of a Powhatan Indian village, three English ships and 1610-14 colonial fort.
Gallery exhibits and an introductory film trace Jamestown's beginnings in England and the first century of the Virginia colony and describe the Powhatan Indian, English and west central African cultures that converged in early Virginia. Outdoors, visitors can explore re-creations of a Powhatan Indian village, climb aboard one of three ships - Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery, or experience life in the Jamestown colony in a re-created fort.
Open year-round 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except Christmas and New Year’s days. Outdoor living-history areas open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
