Pocahontas Welcomes YOU to Jamestown!

Jamestown was America’s first permanent English colony, in Virginia in 1607 – 13 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. There are a lot of activities for exploring the first permanent English settlement in North America. You can share the moment of discovery with archaeologists and witness archaeology-in-action at the 1607 James Fort excavation, 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 even "meet" a 17th-century personality. Who knows? Maybe you'll get a chance to meet Pocahontas!
