Still a popular tourist destination, Jamestown prides itself on being our nation's first permanent English settlement and an area still rich in cultural history.
Visitors can experience life as it was for Europeans, Africans, and the Powhatan tribe during the Colonial Era by visiting the history interpretations offered at Jamestown Settlement. They also offer a riverfront tour, where tourists can board life size recreations of the three ships used in the initial settlement and experience first hand what settlers first saw upon arriving in America.
Attractions in Jamestown include:
- The Jamestown Visitor Center and Museum
- Powhatan Indian Village
- Jamestown Riverfront Discovery Area and Ships
- James Fort
