Jamestown Legacy Wall
Explore the legacies of Jamestown and their impact on America.
In 1606, the region that would come to be known as Jamestown was called Tsenacomacah and was inhabited by the Powhatan, an eastern woodland tribe. With the arrival of the English in 1607 and the forced migration of West Central Africans in 1619, interactions between these three cultures shaped legacies that continue to impact our lives today. Learn more about the legacy of Jamestown, and share your own stories by engaging with the Legacy of Jamestown interactive.
