Jamestown Settlement
A living-history museum of 17th-century Virginia, Jamestown Settlement recalls the world of America’s first permanent English settlement and the coming together of Virginia Indian, English and West Central African cultures. Learn the story of Jamestown through gallery exhibits and living-history interpretation in outdoor settings. Explore re-creations of Paspahegh Town, one of the three ships that sailed to Virginia in 1607 and an English fort, where you can witness a matchlock musket firing. See the galleries at Jamestown Settlement, and take in the 4-D theater presentation of “Bacon’s Rebellion.”
Colonial Williamsburg
America’s oldest and largest live interactive history experience, Colonial Williamsburg’s 301-acre historic area brings Virginia’s 18th-century capital city to life every day. Take a carriage ride, visit the shops and taverns where Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and others conceived the ideals of liberty, independence and personal freedom that influenced the founding of the nation. Listen as the Declaration of Independence is read to the citizens. March from the Capitol to the Courthouse as Washington and his troops begin their journey toward Yorktown and victory.
American Revolution Museum at Yorktown
The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown chronicles America’s struggle for independence, from colonial unrest to the formation of the new nation. Feel what it was like for ordinary men and women during the American Revolution through films, a timeline and immersive exhibits. Outdoors, hear the cannon roar and experience a soldier’s life while mustering with troops in a re-created Continental Army encampment or get a whiff of food prepared over an open hearth in a re-created Revolution-era farmhouse. In the exhibition galleries, see a rare July 1776 broadside printing of the Declaration of Independence.
Historic Jamestowne
The site of America’s first permanent English settlement, Historic Jamestowne offers a wealth of activities: witness archaeology in action at the 1607 James Fort excavation, see the original 17th-century church tower, tour the Visitor Center with its multimedia presentation, tour the Archaearium which displays many of the artifacts unearthed in the fort, and drive the scenic Island loop road.
Yorktown Battlefield
The site of the final major clash of the American Revolution, Yorktown Battlefield allows visitors to follow in the footsteps of General George Washington and to walk where this historic event took place. Drive the battlefield and encampment tour roads, visit the Moore House where the surrender negotiations took place, see the site of the British surrender, and watch The Siege of Yorktown film at the National Park Service Visitor Center, which displays artifacts from the siege, including tents used by General Washington.
