Explore America’s Birthplace and discover the stories of Jamestown!
After sailing 60 miles up the James River, on May 14th, 1607, the Virginia Company established their settlement on a swampy, unoccupied peninsula “in Paspiha’s country” (George Percy). Join us to commemorate this pivotal moment that set in motion the events that would build the foundation of America. Jamestown Day programming includes walking tours with historians and archaeologists, living history that takes visitors back to the 17th century, archaeology in action, and more. Full program schedule coming soon.
