Jamestown Settlement
A living history museum recreating Jamestown in 1607, where visitors can board replicas of three ships, enter the fort and visit a Powhatan Indian village.
Jamestown Settlement is operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia and sits right next to the Historic Jamestowne site. Indoor galleries tell the story of three groups: English colonists, the Powhatan Indians and enslaved Africans. Outdoors, there are replicas of three sailing ships built to original specifications, including the Susan Constant, a wooden palisade fort and an Indian village. Interpreters demonstrate musket firing, cooking and toolmaking, making it ideal for families with children. Admission is about $20. A combined ticket is available with the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown.
