While staying with the fam, we also visited the Jamestown Settlement, a living history museum operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Historic Jamestown is established in the original James Fort and Jamestown Colony, the first successful English settlement on the mainland of North America, founded on May 14, 1607. It was established by the Virginia Company of London.

We began our journey through the Settlement at the Powhatan village.
The Powhatans have also been known as Virginia Algonquians. It is estimated that there were about 14,000–21,000 Powhatan people in eastern Virginia when English colonists established Jamestown in 1607.
There were several interpreters here who instructed us in the every day lives of the villagers.
This is a great place for the family since the children are encouraged to participate and touch!
See the world around you!
