A visit to Jamestown offers two compelling ways to go back in time. Historic Jamestowne is the original site of the first permanent English settlement in America. Walk in the footsteps of Pocahontas and John Smith, witness ongoing archaeological digs and discoveries, and explore engaging exhibits and galleries. Then, discover the world-class living history museum of Jamestown Settlement featuring a recreated village, immersive galleries, and life-size replicas of the three original ships that brought the first settlers to Virginia.
