Historic Jamestowne
Walk in the footsteps of Pocahontas and John Smith at the original site of the first permanent English settlement in America. Witness the moment of discovery with Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists as they excavate James Fort. Take a walking tour with an archaeologist, park ranger, or costumed living history character. View exhibits and galleries located in our award-winning archaeological museum. At the Glasshouse, costumed glassblowers demonstrate Jamestown's first industry, and the Island Loop Drive explores the natural environment. Historic Jamestowne is jointly administered by the National Park Service and Jamestown Rediscovery.
