Today at Jamestown Settlement, the story
of the people who founded Jamestown and of the Virginia Indians they
encountered is told through film, gallery exhibits and living history. New gallery exhibits and a new introductory film trace
Jamestown's beginnings in England and the first century of the Virginia
colony and describe the cultures of the Powhatan Indians, Europeans and
Africans who converged in 1600s Virginia. Outdoors, visitors can board
replicas of the three ships that sailed from England to Virginia in 1607, explore life-size re-creations of the colonists' fort and a Powhatan village, and tour a riverfront discovery area
to learn about European, Powhatan and African economic activities
associated with water. In the outdoor areas, costumed historical
interpreters describe and demonstrate daily life in the early 17th
century.
