Pillow Fighting 101 This picture is what a vacation in Williamsburg is all about. After a long ride, waiting to get checked in and unloading the car–– kids cannot resist the sheer joy of bolting thru the hotel room door and giving that bed the true test. In a way it’s the first really fun thing the kids get to do on vacation, and we absolutely love it.

On page 78 in this magazine, our members have put together a list of what we have to offer you and your family. Whether you are watching your pennies, camping out, seeking the quaint pleasures of a B&B or 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets––we have a place for you that will fit you and yours perfectly.

Welcome to
Greater Williamsburg
where modern amenities meld with the past
C
Charming cobblestone streets weave their way through quaint specialty shops. Mouthwatering smells waft from the assortment of surrounding eateries. The James River flows swiftly by, creating a picturesque setting. Historic finds are at every turn amid the enchanting scenery from the fabric of the region. Throughout Williamsburg and the Historic Triangle, modern amenities meld with the past, and the future flourishes from the rich history of the area. The Historic Triangle, also known as the birthplace of American Democracy, is made up of three cities: Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. If you’ve ever skimmed an American history book, chances are you’ve heard of this area, where the settlers sent by London’s Virginia Company first landed on the sandy shores of Jamestown; where the first ideas of a revolution from Britain were kindled in Williamsburg; where one of the most critical of all Revolutionary War battles was waged along the waters of Yorktown. History buffs will enjoy visiting the famous battlefields, buildings and plantations that make the Historic Triangle what it is today. Even the children will delight in an afternoon of discovery at the Yorktown Victory Center or exploring and experiencing the daily lives of the settlers at the Jamestown Settlement. Inspired and ready for adventure, get acquainted with some of the region’s more modern activities by visiting the area’s famous amusement park, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, with fast-paced roller coasters, a world-class entertainment scene and a guaranteed full day of fun for all ages. If you’re looking for something a little more relaxed, complete the day by watching an independent film or a concert at Kimball Theatre, located in Merchants Square. While Busch Gardens does have a great selection of souvenirs to take home, the HistoricTriangle itself is bursting with everything from highend, luxury boutiques to the best-of-the-best in outlet shopping.

Merchants Square began in 1928 as a vision of revitalization by the son of the Standard Oil CEO John D. Rockefeller Jr. The plan was to relocate the scattered shops in the district to a central location along what is now known as Duke of Gloucester Street, between the College of William & Mary and the Historic District. Merchants Square was designed to incorporate the many perspectives that helped shape the British Colonial and early American landscape, mixing the designs of American architects such as Thomas Jefferson with the building influences of Caribbean warehouses. Today Merchants Square boasts more than 40 shops and restaurants, from Colonial-inspired souvenirs, a classic candy store and a William & Mary campus store, to cooking and kitchen supplies, men’s and women’s fashion, fine jewelry and accessories and quaint bookstores. Local restaurants entice visitors with a wide range of rich and savory entrées for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and some places even provide live musical entertainment for guests to enjoy. Merchants Square hosts a Farmer’s Market from 8 a.m.–noon once a month during winter with locally produced vegetables, meats, seafood, homemade pastries and eggs. With so much to do and see in Merchants Square, it’s worth spending the day!

Make Room for the Memories. An adventure of historic proportion is waiting for you—at two living-history museums that explore America’s beginnings. Board replicas of colonial ships. Grind corn in a Powhatan Indian village. Try on English armour inside a palisaded fort. Then, join Continental Army soldiers at their encampment for a firsthand look at the Revolution’s end. Don’t forget your camera. Because the history here is life size. And your memories will be even bigger!

The 1607 founding of America’s first permanent English Climb aboard life-size replica ships colony in the midst of Virginia’s Powhatan chiefdom, the ensuing convergence of diverse cultures, and the evolution of the colony throughout the 17th century are vividly recounted at Jamestown Settlement. Through living history, film and gallery exhibits, development of the colony and its impact on the Powhatan Indians, long-time inhabitants of coastal Virginia, are vividly depicted at Jamestown Settlement, a museum operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Jamestown Settlement is located about a mile from the original site and 10 minutes from Williamsburg, Jamestown’s successor as capital of the Virginia colony. Aboard life-size replicas of the three 1607 ships — Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery — you’ll get a sense of the spirit of opportunity that motivated the Jamestown colonists as well as the difficult living conditions endured by 17th-century voyagers. In the museum’s re-created fort, you’ll see how the colonists coped with an unfamiliar environment and brought English customs, religion, dress, food and building styles to the New World. You’ll be introduced to the culture of the Powhatan Indians, in a setting re-created from an early 17th-century archaeological site. Your visit to Jamestown Settlement begins with an introductory film that presents an overview of Jamestown’s origins in England and the early years of the colony. Events and themes presented in the film are explored in detail in expansive exhibition galleries. Presenting current historical knowledge, innovative design and a distinctive collection, the galleries chronicle the nation’s 17th-century beginnings in Virginia in the context of its Powhatan Indian, English and west central African cultures. The first of three sections introduces visitors to pre-17th-century Virginia and provides overviews of the “parent” cultures, with full-scale dioramas portraying a Powhatan Indian setting and a dwelling in Angola, homeland of the first Africans in Virginia, and an English streetscape. Exhibits also explore European overseas trade and colonization and advances in shipbuilding and navigation that ultimately led to the formation of the Virginia Company, the English investment group that sponsored the Jamestown colony.

The second section is introduced with a scale model of a 1607 Powhatan community and explores the complexity of the relationship between Virginia’s colonists and the native Powhatan people, ranging from trade to conflict, and the role of cultural intermediaries. Exhibits show how the English secured a foothold in Virginia with the establishment of settlements and economic enterprises and set the course of the future with the introduction of tobacco as a cash crop. While the first documented Africans to arrive in Virginia in 1619 may eventually have won their freedom, the emergence of lifetime servitude for later African immigrants was motivated by the demand for labor to produce tobacco. An object theater chronicles African encounters with Europeans and the development of the transatlantic slave trade. The third section of exhibits provides an overview of the political, social and economic development and expansion of the Virginia colony during the 17th century, while Jamestown served as its capital. Full-scale structures re-created from archaeological sites depict Powhatan, slave and planter dwellings of the late 1600s. Short films describe the evolution and impact of government in 17thcentury Virginia and the legacies of Jamestown—cultural diversity, language and representative government—that were the seeds of the United States of America. Leaving the indoor exhibits, visitors arrive at the re-created Powhatan Indian village where historical interpreters discuss and demonstrate the Powhatan way of life. The village, consisting of several dwellings, a garden and a circle of carved ceremonial posts, is based on archaeological findings at a site once inhabited by Paspahegh Indians, the Powhatan tribal group closest to Jamestown, and descriptions recorded by English colonists. From the Powhatan village, a path leads to a pier where the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery are docked. Visitors can talk with costumed interpreters about the four-and-a-half-month voyage from England. Inside the wooden palisade of Jamestown Settlement’s re-created colonial fort are wattle-and-daub structures with thatched roofs representing Jamestown’s earliest buildings including dwellings, a church, a storehouse and an armory. Interpreters are engaged in a variety of activities typical of daily life during the 16101614 time period, such as agriculture, carpentry, blacksmithing and the preparation of meals, and provide daily demonstrations of matchlock musket firing. Visitors are welcome to handle many of the 17th-century reproduction items used in Jamestown Settlement’s outdoor living-history program. You are invited to grind corn, help make cordage and pitch corncob darts in the Powhatan Indian village. In the fort, you can try on armor or toss quoits. Special events and programs include Military Through the Ages in March, Jamestown Day in May, Foods & Feasts of Colonial Virginia in November and A Colonial Christmas in December. Jamestown Settlement, located on Route 31 South, is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and until 6 p.m. from June 15 through August 15. You should allow three hours for your visit. Admission is $16.75 for adults and $7.75 for ages 6-12. Children under 6 are admitted free.

At the Historic Jamestowne Visitor Center, learn about daily interpretive programs, tour the exhibit galleries, shop in the museum store and view a multimedia theater presentation that will immerse you in the sights and sounds of 17th–century Jamestown. Located at the east end of the island, the Nathalie P. and Alan M. Voorhees Archaearium, Jamestown’s archaeology museum, displays more than 1,500 artifacts from James Fort. After a visit to the Archaearium, enjoy lunch on the banks of the James River at the Dale House Café. Spend time soaking up the natural environment of the island, where you can observe bald eagles, blue herons and white-tailed deer among the indigenous wildlife that thrive in the area. Throughout the year, you can meet some of the early settlers during eyewitness programs and living history tours. Events are held on site to commemorate important dates in Jamestown’s history. After departing the Visitor Center, continue your visit with a trip along the Island Loop Drive, a five-mile, self-guided driving tour, where you can explore the natural environment. Exhibit signs along the drive explain how the early Jamestown settlers harnessed this environment to help them survive. Complete your visit with a stop at the Glasshouse of 1608 to observe artisans practice glassmaking, one of the earliest industries attempted on the island. Historic Jamestowne is jointly administered by the National Park Service and The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation (on behalf of Preservation Virginia) and preserves the site of America’s first permanent English settlement. Admission to Historic Jamestowne also includes admission to Yorktown Battlefield and provides unlimited access to both historic sites for seven consecutive days.

Victory Center
a museum of the american revolution
I witness living history
Experience a breathtaking view of the York River while dining at lunch and dinner on fresh seafood, steaks, chops and tapas.
In the spring of 1781, British General Cornwallis led his army into Virginia. Opposing him was the smaller American force led by the Marquis de Lafayette. This is where the last important conflict of the American Revolution was fought. George Washington, in conference with the French General Rochambeau, decided that a combined land and naval battle in Virginia was now possible, as the French fleet was sailing north to the Chesapeake Bay. Washington then quietly moved the bulk of French and American troops from New York to Yorktown. On September 5, the French fleet intercepted the British fleet outside the Virginia Capes and forced it to retire. Washington and Rochambeau arrived at Yorktown in late September and laid siege to the town. The British surrendered on October 19, 1781, virtually ending the Revolution. To gain an understanding of events that led to America’s war for independence and the development of the new nation, start your tour at the Yorktown Victory Center, a museum of the American Revolution operated by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

A timeline corridor provides a visual journey from the 13 British colonies in the 1750s to westward expansion of the new United States in the 1790s. The museum’s living-history program offers visitors the opportunity to experience Revolutionary-era life firsthand in re-creations of a Continental Army encampment and farm. In the encampment, historical interpreters explain medical and surgical practices and the role of the quartermaster in managing supplies. Soldiers demonstrate how to fire a musket and recruit and train “volunteers” for positions on an artillery crew, then fire a very loud artillery piece. At a Revolution-era farm, complete with a house, kitchen and tobacco barn, visitors can help the costumed historical interpreters tend seasonal crops and vegetables and lend a hand with daily chores, such as cooking, laundering and preparing flax for cloth. Special events and programs include Liberty Celebration in July, Court Days in September, Yorktown Victory Celebration in October, Foods & Feasts of Colonial Virginia in November and A Colonial Christmas in December.

Immerse yourself in 300 years of history and enjoy lodging in a hotel or bed and breakfast nestled among the village streets and paths or overlooking the York River. Here you can experience many 18th-century homes, visit the location where the surrender terms for the Battle of Yorktown were negotiated, and the home of the commander of the Virginia militia with its walls still bearing the scars of cannonballs fired upon the village in 1781. Explore the battlefields, fortifications and historic buildings where American independence was won. Be sure to see the monument commissioned by the Continental Congress in 1781 and completed in 1884 to commemorate the victory at Yorktown and to memorialize those who lost their lives for freedom. Picturesque streets are the backdrop for art galleries and specialty shops. Visit the museums offering hands-on programs and exhibits. Stroll along the scenic riverwalk and relax on the sandy beach at river’s edge. Take a ride on our free trolley, then march to the beat of The Fifes and Drums of York Town. Relax and enjoy the riverfront and its charming 18th-century ambiance and reflect on the events that led to the creation of a new nation.

American Revolutionary War on October 19, 1781, when British troops surrendered to General George Washington and his French allies. Yorktown played a very important role in American history. Today, Yorktown is joined by the scenic Colonial Parkway to Williamsburg and Jamestown and is located just 12 miles east of Williamsburg. It remains much as it was during the waning days of the Revolution. Although Yorktown is best known as the site where America won its independence, you can be sure that no battles are being fought here today, which leaves Yorktown a charming and peaceful riverside village. Whether it’s reliving the chronicles of America’s struggle for independence, touring the historic homes and battlefields, visiting our museums, taking a leisurely riverwalk stroll, a trolley tour, watching a fifes and drums parade, enjoying the many unique shopping and dining experiences or just relaxing by the river, Yorktown has something for everyone. Plan to stay overnight or longer at a hotel, bed and breakfast inn, or guest cottage overlooking the water or up the hill in the village. Yorktown is a year-round destination for history, shopping, outdoor recreation, fine dining and special events..

Yorktown Battlefield
J
Jamestown is where America was born. Williamsburg is where our nation’s ideals matured. And Yorktown is where America became of age. Visit Yorktown Battlefield and take yourself back in time where history was made. A tour of the Battlefield begins at the National Park Service Visitor Center (Colonial National Historical Park), where the battle on land and at sea is presented through a series of multimedia exhibits. You can walk through a full-sized replica of the quarterdeck of a British warship, view the movement of troops through a special lighted map display, and browse through a beautiful collection of Revolutionary War artifacts, including the tents used by General George Washington to plan the siege. A 16-minute film, “Siege at Yorktown,” discusses the importance of the battle, and an exhibit shows the role of African Americans during and after the Revolutionary War. Through careful examination of 18th-century military maps and archaeological excavations, the National Park Service has reconstructed a nearly complete picture of General Washington’s siege. Earth works and siege lines mark the positions of British and American troops during the battle. Tours of the Battlefield are conducted from the Visitor Center by park rangers. Maps and audio tours are also available for a self-guided driving tour of the battlefield and encampment areas, and walking tour of the Town of York. The National Park Service maintains the restored 18th-century homes of Augustine Moore, where the negotiations were conducted for the surrender of the British army, and Thomas Nelson, Jr., one of Virginia’s signers of the Declaration of Independence. Be sure to ask about these when you visit the National Park Service Visitor Center, or call 757-898-2410 for dates and hours. goWilliamsburg.com

Tyler Garden
Local Legends Crim Dell Bridge
Echo Spot in Tyler Garden Located in the Tyler Garden on the College of William & Mary campus is a Williamsburg tradition that only a handful of people know about outside of the student population. Known as the Echo Spot, this circular brick corner of the garden has three statues, one directly next to the other, each with bronze busts representing a member of the Tyler family. These members include Lyon Gardiner Tyler, the 17th president of William and Mary, his father, John Tyler, who was not only the 10th President of the U.S., but also served as the chancellor and rector of the College, and Lyon Gardiner Tyler’s grandfather, John Tyler, who was the 18th governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you stand here, with your back towards the statues (facing James Blair Hall) and speak, you can hear a strange acoustic sound as if your words are being reverberated. Some say this sensation is the statues talking back to you. This only happens if you stand directly in the center and bystanders will not be able to experience the echo themselves—only the speaker. Try it yourself!
Flying Fireball at Bacon’s Castle In the fall of 1675, the Virginia colonists witnessed something they have never seen before. A comet flew across the sky with a tail of fire following directly behind it. But this peculiar object in the sky wasn’t what scared the colonists. They were more frightened by the fact that they believed the comet would haunt them for years to come for it was “omen” cursing the area. Today, locals know this as the tale of the fireball at Bacon’s Castle. Soon after the comet was spotted, thousands of pigeons blackened the sky for days on end. Then, Photo By Natwebb (Own work) , via Wikimedia Commons
Bacon’s Castle goWilliamsburg.com
myths and traditions of williamsburg
in the spring of 1676, a heavy plague of locusts swarmed the area. As if the colonists weren’t already worried the omen curse was really coming true, it wasn’t until the summer of 1676 that this worry became a reality. On a Sunday morning in 1676, Nathan Bacon, the man who inspired the name of Bacon’s Castle, was captured by Governor Berkley’s troops. Although Bacon eventually escaped, he was unable to pursue his plans for rebellion. He caught malaria in the fall of 1676 and died quickly after. Today, there are several ghost stories told at Bacon’s Castle. But one that everyone fears the most is the Flying Fireball. Witnesses claim that the ball of fire rises from the Old Lawne’s Creek Church cemetery and then slowly drifts north. A former owner claims he saw the light outside of his window thinking his barn was on fire. Another witness saw the ball circling his bed and then flying out the window. A group of people at a meeting outside the church say they saw the ball of fire as well. What causes the light at Bacon’s Castle? No one has yet to know.
The Mother-in-Law Tree In 1687, the Harrisons, a local and wealthy family living in the Jamestown area, betrothed their daughter Sarah to young man she was not fond of. However, Sarah rebelled against her parents’ demands because she was in love with another man named James Blair, a 31 year old who her parents did not approve of. So much so that they even tried to disown Sarah for her attempts to be with him. Against her parents’ will, Sarah married James anyways. Even after the wedding her mother swore she would continue to ruin their relationship until they separated. A few years later, Sarah’s mother, father and little sister were killed during a terrible storm, yet Sarah and James continued to live happily together. Sarah died in 1713 and James in 1743. They were buried next to each other in Jamestown. Within a year after their burial, a sycamore tree started to grow directly in between their graves. The growth of the tree caused Sarah’s tomb to be pushed 7 feet—6 inches from her parents’ graves. By the 1970s the tree finally died out and was cut down, but within a few months another sycamore grew in its place in the
same spot. The sapling was removed. Another sycamore sprouted. After several occurrences, the caretakers of Jamestown gave up on trying to remove the tree from in between Sarah and James’ graves, so the tree is still there today. No one touches that sycamore tree for everyone in the area believes if something were to happen to it, another one would grow no matter what. Sarah’s mother swore she would continue to keep her daughter and James apart and since she couldn’t do it alive, her spirit is determined to do it after her death—so it seems.
Lord Botetort Statue Norborne Berkeley, Baron de Botetourt was a governor of the Virginia Colony from 1768 to 1770 and also served as a member of the Board of Visitors at the College of William & Mary. During his time as governor, the people of the Virginia colony were very fond of him, so a statue was built in his honor at the Old Capitol building, which was purchased by the College of William & Mary in 1801. Since then the statue has moved several times. It was transferred to the Public Asylum for safety during the Civil War and then again in the Earl Gregg Swem Library’s Botetourt Gallery in 1966. A bronze replica of the statue was built by an alumnus in the College Yard for the 1993 College of William & Mary Homecoming. It is a tradition to dress the statue up for every holiday such as hanging a wreath around his neck or outstretched hand.
Crim Dell Bridge The Crim Dell Bridge is a wooden bridge on the campus of the College of William & Mary and is considered as one of the area’s most scenic views. Here you will find the red and cream colored bridge that crosses over a beautiful pond surrounded by a natural scenery and peaceful atmosphere. Rumor has it that if two lovers cross the bridge with one another and kiss at the crest that they will be together forever. But if that couple separates at that point instead, then the lady must throw her ex-lover into the water and break the curse of being single forever. It is also said that if someone crosses the Crim Dell Bridge alone, they will continue to be alone forever. second Edition | WHMA VISITOR’S GUIDE 63

Williamsburg’s
Libations
making history one glass at a time
D
During a vacation to Williamsburg, it’s easy to feel like you’ve stepped back in time by walking the grounds that were first established by the colonists more than 400 years ago. It was during this time that the state of Virginia signed into a law known as the Twelfth Acte of 1619, which indicated that each settler plant at least 10 vines for the purpose of making wine on Thomas Jefferson’s property. Not much came of it. However, Jefferson had more faith in Virginia soil than that, so decided to cultivate European grapes in his Monticello vineyard. It wasn’t until wines were made from Native American grapes that positive results started to show. Over time, more and more wines made in Virginia received awards such as the “best red wine of all nations” and even a gold metal for Norton at the Paris World’s Fair in 1889. Today, with over 190 wineries and counting, Virginia has grown to be a well-known area to produce wine along with California, New York, Washington and Oregon.
Saude Creek Vineyard’s log cabin appearance and holiday season feel are perfect for those looking for a relaxing and cozy wine tasting experience. From their light-bodied Riesling with a crisp and smooth finish to their sweet Squire’s Blend with a light honeysuckle flavor, you will surely find one you love. Although the New Kent Winery, nestled between Williamsburg and Richmond, was constructed in 2008, the design was meant to resemble an earlier time. The winter lodge exterior is just as unique as its 17,000 square foot tasting room indoors decorated with historical material from preserved buildings and structures dated over a century old. Using state-of-the-art wine production equipment from various countries around the world, the New Kent Winery’s traditional features reflect a time when wine making was just getting started in Virginia. The classic Southern-style wraparound porch and high ceilings make you feel right at home while sipping on a variety of wine from Chardonnay to Merlot to Meritage.
WINERIES
BREWERIES
In 1983, the Duffeler family purchased the Wessex Hundred, a 300 acre property home to the Wedmore Place, a boutique hotel with 28 rooms, The Williamsburg Winery, two restaurants—Café Provençal and the Gabriel Archer Tavern—and rows upon rows of grape vines, boasting the fruits of some luscious and award-winning labor. With the farm land being subject to the Twelfth Acte of 1619, imbibers can relive a bit of history today upon sipping the winery’s aptly named Acte 12 of Sixteen Nineteen Chardonnay or their Governor’s White, released in 1988, which is the best selling wine in the Commonwealth. Over time, the Williamsburg Winery has established itself as the largest winery in Virginia—as well as the most visited. The most recent accolade came in 2014 when the winery’s 2010 Adagio was awarded the Virginia Governor’s Cup. As you explore outside of the city of Williamsburg, the Virginia winery destinations continue. Located in Lanexa on the Pawmunkey River is Suade Creek Vineyards, a winery home to mineral-rich soils and food-friendly wines. The site was once home to Frank’s Tavern in which served as a popular pub and lodging house for the wayfareres traveling through Williamsburg. It is told that a few of the regulars here were George Washington and French General Rochambeau.
Although wine production has made a significant impact on not only Williamsburg, but the entire state of Virginia, another type of popular beverage has become just as prevalent. Craft beer has grown tremendously on the East Coast in recent years. In 2012, there were nearly 40 breweries in Virginia and just a few years later that number has grown to nearly 100. Continuing the trend of homemade brews on tap, Williamsburg has its own unique contribution to the craft beer world. Post opening in 2006, Alewerks Brewing Company located in the heart of Williamsburg began producing craft beer in state-of-the-art conical fermentors. This fired brick-clad Peter Austin brew house serves everything from White to Spring Ales, Pales and Wheat Ales to IPAs, all of which

dining are inspired by the areas colonial features. As Williamsburg’s only micro-brewery, Aleworks Brewing Company is creating history by merely existing! Located nearly 20 minutes from Williamsburg is Brass Cannon Brewing, a craft beer company that mixes modern techniques with traditional style. A brass cannon is used as the brewery’s symbol in order to accurately represent its power, distinct ties to the region and historical wealth. The group of loyal homebrewers who founded Brass Cannon Brewing dedicate their time, efforts and love for craft beer in order to create every kind of non-distilled beverage known to mankind and then some. You
can enjoy these craft beers knowing they are made with ingredients from both the new and old world. New to Williamsburg this fall is the Virginia Beer Company, a craft brewery and taproom focusing on small, high quality core lineup of products. They are making history in their own way by using environmental sustainable equipment and a boundary-pushing rotation of limited edition beers for the Williamsburg community. Plans for the Virginia Beer Company brewery include a 10,000 square foot facility, 30 BBL brewhouse, a 5 BBL pilot system and a 2,000 square foot taproom. Here both visitors and locals alike can enjoy their finely crafted beer indoors or outside in the beer garden and patio. Plan your visit to the Virginia Beer Company and help make history!
DISTILLERY
enjoy a local brew
A colonial-themed craft distillery known as the Williamsburg Distillery, which is in the midst of finding a permanent location here in Williamsburg, is taking the production of gin, rum and bourbon whiskey to a unique new level. Using ingredients and recipes popular between 1620 and the late 1700s, Indian corn, wheat and barley will be used for the Jamestown Gin and Williamsburg Bourbon, and molasses for the silver Yorktown Rum. Inspired by George Washington’s Distillery at Mount Vernon, the Williamsburg Distillery also plans to use equipment and techniques from the colonial period to make limited edition liquors.

The first automobile ferry crossing of the James River was made by Albert Jester and piloted by “Captain John Smith” on February 26, 1925. The ferry was 60-feet long and could carry 16 Model-T Fords at a time. The Virginia Department of Transportation took over ferry operations in 1945. Today’s ferry fleet consists of four vessels; the Pocahontas, the Surry, the Williamsburg and the Virginia and can take as few as 28 cars per ferry on the Virginia and up to 70 cars on the Pocahontas. The fleet transports 936,000 vehicles annually and is the only 24-hour state-run ferry system in Virginia. While taking the ferry, you will view from the boat: Historic Jamestown, the first English colony in America; Bacon’s Castle, one of the oldest documented brick houses in English North America; Smith’s Fort, the site of the original fort built by Captain John Smith in 1609 to help defend Jamestown and Chippokes Plantation and State Park, one of the oldest working plantations in existence. The Jamestown-Scotland Ferry is free and located at 16289 Rolfe Highway in Surry, Virginia. For more information visit their website at www.virginiadot. org/travel/ferry-jamestown.asp, or call 1-800-VAFerry or contact jsferryinput@vdot.virginia.gov.
