Jamestown Settlement: Within hailing distance of Jamestown's original site, three tall-masted ships lie at anchor in the James River. A short distance up the river's bank, the wood palisade of re-created colonial fort encircles the wattle and daub buildings within. In the woods beyond the fort smoke wafts from reed-covered dwelling of a Powhatan Indian Village. This is Jamestown Settlement - as close as you are ever likely to get to the sites and sounds that Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, Jamestown's colonists and the Powhatan Indians encountered in the early years of the 17th century.
Jamestown Settlement is open daily from 9am-5pm except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Allow at least 2-3 hours for your visit to Jamestown Settlement.
