ATTRACTIONS
Meet Jane. At least that’s what the archaeologists call her. Her partial remains
discovered in a 17th-century trash deposit from “the starving time” of 1609-10
confirm the first scientifically proven occurrence of survival cannibalism in
Colonial America. Jane’s story is just one of the many remarkable tales of
life in the first permanent English colony in North America. You can also walk
in the footsteps of Capt. John Smith and Pocahontas, or explore the original site
of James Fort as Preservation Virginia archaeologists uncover the settlement’s
remains. Start your journey at the Historic Jamestowne Visitor Center to learn
about Jamestown’s 92-year run as the capital of Virginia. At the Voorhees
Archaearium, Jamestown’s archaeology museum, see artifacts excavated from
James Fort and then join an archaeology walking tour to see the 17th-century
brick church tower and archaeological remains of 1620s New Towne. After lunch
at the café overlooking the James River, where you may glimpse eagles, herons
and white-tailed deer, drive the five-mile Island Drive. Don’t miss a stop at the
Glasshouse of 1608 to observe artisans demonstrating glassmaking.

Ever wondered what Pocahontas’s childhood was really like? Here’s your
chance to tour a re-created Powhatan Indian village and take part in

Powhatan Indians converges with that of the English colonists in 1607: A
Nation Takes Root, a docudrama film that chronicles Jamestown’s origins
in England and the colonists’ struggle to survive and thrive in Virginia.
At the museum pier, board the Susan Constant, Godspeed or Discovery,
replicas of the three ships that transported the original Jamestown
colonists to Virginia in 1607. Tour a re-created version of James Fort to

Immerse yourself in the excitement and struggle of our nation’s
beginnings at the Yorktown Victory Center, a museum of the American
Revolution. In an outdoor re-created Continental Army encampment,
historical interpreters may invite you to help prepare a cannon for firing
or join a military drill. And speaking of drills, ever imagined what a
trip to the dentist would be like during this time? You’ll never skip
flossing again. A re-created 1780s farm provides a look at how many
Americans lived in the early years of the new nation. Inside Yorktown
Victory Center, the Declaration of Independence Gallery highlights how
this revolutionary document inspired decisive action and attracted
international attention. The Yorktown Victory Center continues to
welcome visitors as it undergoes a transformation over the next few
years into the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. Combination
tickets are available year-round with Jamestown Settlement, a museum
of 17th-century Virginia. There is a gift shop on museum premises, and

Stonehouse winds through 6,962 yards of steep forested hills, wide plateaus and abrupt ravines, offering
a truly exhilarating experience. If the dramatic elevations don’t take your breath away, the greens at cliff’s
edge will. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while long carries, deep bunkers and hidden greens test you on
every hole. Stonehouse also abounds in mystery and intrigue. Stories suggest Capt. John Smith and his
men created Stonehouse as a fort, and Virginia’s hero Nathaniel Bacon used it as a hideout while fighting
the despised governor’s forces. Stonehouse may even have been the place where Blackbeard, one of the
most ruthless pirates of them all, buried his treasures. Now Stonehouse has its own treasure. Every hole
