Visit the APVA Jamestown Rediscovery excavation, where archeologists continue to uncover the remains of the original James Fort. Visitors are allowed close access to the digs, where they can join in the moment of discovery as archaeologists gently coax the Jamestown of 1607 from the banks of the James River. Walk through the townsite to see the original church tower dating to the 1640s. At the Glasshouse, costumed glassblowers demonstrate one of the first industries attempted in English-speaking America. Driving tours explore the lush natural setting and exhibits explain how the settlers harnessed that wilderness.

our visit to Jamestown Settlement starts with “1607: A Nation Takes Root,” the docudrama film that chronicles Jamestown’s origins in England, the colonists’ struggle to survive and thrive in Virginia, their interaction with the Powhatan Indians and the arrival in 1619 of the first Africans, from the kingdom of Ndongo in Angola. Comprehensive gallery exhibits describe world events and social and economic conditions that led to the English colonization of America and the formation of the Virginia Company that sponsored Jamestown with a goal of earning its investors a profit. Exhibits trace the development of the Virginia colony from a humble outpost in 1607 to a politically and economically secure entity. Find out about the cultivation of tobacco, the cash crop that ensured the Colony’s survival, and the evolution of social and government institutions throughout the 17th century, while Jamestown served as Virginia’s capital. Visit the outdoor living-history areas in a re-created Powhatan Indian village, learn how the Powhatans farmed, hunted, fished and gathered to obtain materials needed for housing, clothing and food. Take part in activities Pocahontas would have helped with as a child, like grinding corn and making cordage. At the museum pier, board the Susan Constant, Godspeed or Discovery, replicas of the three ships that transported the original Jamestown colonists to Virginia in 1607. A riverfront discovery area provides information about European, Virginia Indian and African economic activities associated with water, including navigation, boat building, fishing, commodities and trade. Within the triangular wooden palisade, the re-created James Fort interprets the settlement during 1610-14, reflecting its military and commercial character. See a “settler” load and fire a matchlock musket, a blacksmith forge tools or a carpenter work with wood. Visit www.historyisfun.org or call 888.593.4682 for more information.

ORKTOWN BATTLEFIELD
T
he British Surrendered; Independence Was Won. Yorktown Battlefield is the site of the final major clash of the American Revolution and symbolic end of the colonial period of our nation’s history. On these fields in the fall of 1781, General George Washington and his allied American and French army surrounded and besieged General Charles Lord Cornwallis’ British and German forces at the port of Yorktown. The ensuing British surrender resulted in the war’s end, granting independence to the United States of America. Administered by the National Park Service as part of Colonial National Historical Park, the Yorktown Battlefield allows visitors the unique opportunity to follow in the footsteps of General Washington and walk the actual ground where these important historic events took place. Walk the quarterdeck of a full-sized replica of a British warship and examine a collection of artifacts from the battle, including a variety of flags and weapons surrendered by the British at the end of the siege. Be sure to see the exhibit of tents used by General Washington during the campaign. Recently returned to display after an extensive five-year restoration, the tents are housed in a new, state-of-the-art exhibit case, allowing visitors to not only view the tents, but actually enter the walls within which General Washington planned one of the most momentous events in our nation’s history.

ORKTOWN VICTORY CENTER
G
ain a new appreciation and understanding of the nation’s beginnings at the Yorktown Victory Center, near the battlefields where the climactic military campaign of the American Revolution took place in the fall of 1781. America’s evolution from Colonial status to nationhood is chronicled through a unique blend of timeline, thematic exhibits and outdoor living history that emphasizes the experiences of ordinary people. The “Road to Revolution,” an open-air exhibit walkway, traces events leading to the American Colonies’ split from Britain. Inside is the “Witnesses to Revolution” gallery, where you will encounter two African-American slaves who supported opposite sides, a Mohawk chief who struggled to keep his people neutral and a Virginia plantation owner who remained loyal to Britain. The witnesses theme continues in an evocative 18-minute film, “A Time of Revolution.” The “Converging on Yorktown” gallery illustrates the movement of British, French and American troops in 1781 and the three-week siege at Yorktown that resulted in British capitulation and ensured American independence. The fascinating story of ships lost or scuttled in the York River during the siege is told in “Yorktown’s Sunken Fleet.”
Yorktown Victory Center
“The Legacy of Yorktown: Virginia Beckons,” examines how people from many different cultures, those in Virginia before the 1607 founding of Jamestown and those who arrived later, shaped a new society. A stimulating “hands-on” history experience awaits youngsters in the Yorktown Victory Center’s “A Children’s Kaleidoscope” discovery room. In an outdoor re-created Continental Army encampment, historical interpreters may invite you to help prepare a cannon for firing or join a military drill. A re-created 1780s farm provides a look at how many Americans lived in the early years of the new nation. Visit the crop field and tobacco barn; explore the house and separate kitchen for a glimpse of domestic life; and help water the garden or “break” Flax.

What could be more perfect than a day spent soaking up the atmosphere of our nation’s exciting history while at the same time enjoying modern day conveniences, an eclectic mix of shops, a relaxing beach area and several restaurants featuring a variety of dishes sure to tempt your palate? Riverwalk Landing, York County’s retail development along the York River, will meet all your expectations and more. This multi-million dollar project features many shops, fine dining, a performance area, two-tier parking terrace and two docks — one that supports cruise and tall ships and another for smaller boats. Once, this town was a thriving seaport welcoming visitors from Europe and the colonies. Its reign ended with the coming of war, but was rewarded with independence. And now the waterfront has awakened from its long slumber and once again is witness to the unfurling of sails and the sounds of footsteps along the dock.
With 250,000 square feet of shopping excitement, the Williamsburg Outlet Mall enjoys a place of distinction as Williamsburg’s only enclosed Factory Outlet Center!
