Quote: The original Jamestown site is an archeologist’s dream! Everything is within an easy walk to explore and discuss. Too bad the visitor’s center was so damaged from Hurricane Isabel last year. The settlement is a re-creation, re-enactment... Read the full Jamestown Settlement review

Quote: This hands-on museum gives kids (and their parents) a life-sized view of the Jamestown fort and an Indian village. The ability to climb on, over, and through the exhibits guarantees that kids will be interested and might even learn something! Use... Read the full Jamestown Settlement review

  • January 6, 2004
Quote: Compared to Colonial Williamsburg, this was a little disappointing, but OK to see once. The visitor center is attractive and large, but only contains a small gift/bookshop. The actual settlement is set up like a loop, with not too much there. There... Read the full Jamestown Settlement review

Quote: Jamestown settlement, along with the Yorktown Victory Center and Colonial Williamsburg are the big hitters in the area historically. Jamestown is a total recreation… it didn’t even sit on this site but nearby. What it does do is initiate the visitor... Read the full Jamestown Settlement review

Quote: Jamestown is another history buff destination. However, unlike Williamsburg, I would recommend that children be a bit older to enjoy a visit there. Start out by taking the tour through their video presentations, explaining the history of the... Read the full Jamestown Settlement review

  • April 7, 2003
Quote: For those who are not aware, both Jamestown and Yorktown each have two centers of attraction. One center is run by the state of Virginia, the other is run by the National Park Service. I'm sure both sites at both location are equally interesting and... Read the full Jamestown Settlement review
