I highly encourage one and all to come to Jamestown and see if they can feel the 'Deja Vu feeling I got while there. While standing at the front of Pocohantas' statue the feeling that I had been there before swept through me like the wind sweeps the James river. According to our family tree, my ancestors arrived at Jamestown in time for the Bacon Rebellion and subsequently purchased quite a bit of land in the surrounding area. Their hearts were in Jamestown and I feel compelled to return time and again just to touch the place where the first words of freedom were spoken. America began at Jamestown with those words and then came to fruition just a short piece down the colonial parkway at Yorktown. Anyone who holds a love for America should undertake a visit to where it all began...Jamestown! This fall I will begin my search for the actual spot where my ancestors had their homestead.

Jamestown and Yorktown museums and living history experiences were very good. We did have a negative experience at the gift shop at Yorktown having to listen to a clerk expound upon the perils of electing the party she opposed.

I thought that the Jamestown settlement and the archeological area belong to the same management. Once we worked out where we were supposed to be, we had a great time.It was a wonderful learning experience for my kids, from the gallery to the outdoor settlement replica.
Thank you.
