Jamestown, Virginia Today - Historic Park and
Living History Museum
 Today,
Jamestown consists of two separate properties, managed
and maintained by separate entities. Historic Jamestown is
located at the original site of the Colony and is
co-administered by the National Park Service and APVA
Preservation Virginia. The Jamestown Settlement is a living
history museum operated by the
State of Virginia and adjacent to
the original site. Visiting both is a great way to experience
life as it was in the 17th century.
At the historic site, you can watch archaeologists excavate the
recently discovered site of the original 1607 fort, walk amidst
the many ruins of original buildings that stood in town,
including the original 17th-century church tower, meet a
character from Jamestown’s past, and talk with costumed
glass-blowers at the Glasshouse, the actual site of the settlers
early attempts at industry.
At the Jamestown Settlement next door, you can explore replicas
of those first three ships that brought the 1607 settlers, as
well as recreations of the fort they built and a Powhatan
village. Costumed interpreters bring history to life throughout
the outdoor areas of the Settlement. In addition, there are
gallery exhibits, a film and a riverfront area that provide
further information on the many facets of this first Colony in
the New World.
