Ultimate Visitor’s Guide to Historic Jamestown, VA
Jamestown, the site of the first permanent English settlement in America, is a major tourist attraction and an interesting place to visit in Virginia. In 1607, 13 years before the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Rock, a group of 104 Englishmen began a settlement on the banks of Virginia’s James River. The story of Jamestown’s founders and the Virginia Indians they encountered is narrated through gallery exhibits and outdoor living history museums.
