Ed Shed Archaeology Program

Location: The Ed Shed

At the Ed Shed, young visitors can sort through artifacts from the excavation sites, identify 17th-century food remains, use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology, and more! Families get hands-on learning experiences with the various activities at the Ed Shed. The artifacts that visitors interact with at the Ed Shed are real pieces of Jamestown history, not reproductions.

Included with paid admission to the Preservation Virginia portion of Historic Jamestowne.
