Jamestown 2007
What better time to visit
Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia than
during America’s 400th Anniversary celebration? As the first
permanent English-speaking establishment in the New World,
Jamestown observes its place in American history by hosting an
eighteen-month commemoration that will span the entire
commonwealth and generate spirit across the country.
 The festivities began in May, 2006 with America’s Anniversary
Weekend at Historic Jamestown, Jamestown Settlement, and
Anniversary Park. The celebration continued with the launch
of Godspeed, an authentic replica of the original ship that was
one of the first three sails to transport settlers from Europe.
With its first port-of-call in Alexandria, Virginia, the
“floating museum” will dock at six major cities along the
eastern coast—each stop hosting its own landing party and
special events.
Continuing until fall of 2007, this important American landmark
will be cause for a calendar-full of unique celebrations,
Williamsburg events, and learning opportunities. Experience the
diverse heritages of Native Americans at the American Indian
Intertribal Cultural Festival; observe the turning point of the
American Revolution at the 225th Anniversary battle reenactment
of the victory at Yorktown; explore 400 years of the religious,
political, and artistic imprints of African Americans; travel
back four centuries at the Jamestown Settlement Museum’s “World
of 1607”—an exhibit featuring artifacts from over 30 museums
worldwide.
With ten signature events and hundreds of smaller-scale cultural
and educational celebrations, America’s 400th Anniversary is
just one more reason to visit the birthplace of America.For
