Jamestown, VA

                                 

Within a hand full of miles is the 1607 Jamestown Settlement (England’s first permanent settlement in the New World), Colonial Williamsburg (Virginia’s capitol 1699 – 1780), and the battlefield in Yorktown (where General Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington in 1781 ending the revolutionary war).  We began our week with an afternoon at Jamestown.

The road into the park sported a long row of historical landmark signs.  I did a bit of research on these signs. Virginia’s historical marker program dates back to 1926 and includes more than 2,000 markers.

Jamestown’s Visitor Center contained more information than we could read in a day.  One of the volunteers helped Genny catch a skunk, he simply tossed the pelt to her and she caught it.

Outside we cruised through the Powhatan Village.  The Powhatan Indians were the confederation of Virginia’s Native Americans.  The Chief was also called Powhatan and in 1607 was Pocahontas’ father.  Here volunteers demonstrated cooking, arrow head making and other jobs done around the village.

Next we walked down to the water front.  Re-creations of the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery are moored on the James River. When the two larger ships returned to England, the Discovery stayed behind for the settlers to use for further exploration.

At the fort we learned about armor, their weapons and life in Jamestown.

The many volunteers were knowledgeable and didn’t seem to mind repeating the same information over to each person that walked in.
