admission to historic jamestowne

Welcome to Historic Jamestowne, America’s birthplace. Historic Jamestowne is the 1607 fort and settlement site focused on archaeology and preservation. Tickets are valid with a receipt for seven consecutive days.

As a result of significant policy change required by the National Park Service, purchasing admission to Historic Jamestowne will be a two-step process. Visitors are required to purchase two separate tickets: one from Jamestown Rediscovery (Preservation Virginia) and one from the National Park Service. An NPS ticket is required to pass through the Visitor Center and pedestrian footbridge to access Jamestown Rediscovery (Preservation Virginia).

Please see the map below to learn which attractions are available with each ticket.
