The Arrival of Lord De La Warr

Thomas West, the Lord De La Warr and the new governor of the colony, arrived at Jamestown on June 10, 1610. The colony was on the brink of failure, having barely survived a siege that resulted in the deaths of the majority of its residents. Lord De La Warr instituted martial law, which remained in effect for almost a decade. Join us to explore how this turning point changed the history of Jamestown. Full program schedule coming soon.
