where to stay
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 74 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. If you need some help finding the best location for your family’s pillow fight, call our friends at the Greater Williamsburg Tourist Information Center and they will do their best to get you the information that you need to make the most of your well-deserved time off. 1-800-446-9244 We look forward to seeing you and don’t get on the kids too much about jumping on the bed. It’s one of those small pleasures in life and we really don’t mind.

Welcome
To The Historic Triangle Where Modern Amenities Meld With The Past 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 worldclass 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 Historic Triangle itself is bursting with everything from high-end, luxury boutiques to the best-of-the-best in outlet shopping. From the fabulous shops found along Riverwalk Landing in Yorktown to the old-world-inspired stores dotting the streets of Merchants Square in Williamsburg, this is a savvy shopper’s delight. If all that activity has worked up a proper appetite, satisfy your stomach with culinary delights from a multitude of restaurants in the Historic Triangle, many with awe-inspiring waterfront views and that old-fashioned charm and southern hospitality that’s hard to find elsewhere. Then toast to a vacation to remember over a glass—or two—of wine made right here at the Williamsburg Winery. So here’s to a vacation full of family fun, fine dining and fabulous shopping—all intertwined throughout Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.
Welcome to the Historic Triangle! 14

Candy & Gourmet Shop
Merchants Square 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. Every Saturday Merchants Square hosts a Farmer’s Market from 8 a.m.–noon with locally produced vegetables, meats, seafood, flowers, homemade pastries and eggs. Weather permitting, there is a free outdoor movie event on Sundays. With so much to do and see in Merchants Square, it’s worth spending the day!

Jamestown Settlement
More than 400 years ago, on December 20, 1606, three merchant ships filled with passengers and cargo embarked from England on a voyage that would set the course of American history. The Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery arrived in Virginia in the spring of 1607. On May 13, their 104 passengers—all men and boys—selected a site on the banks of the James River for what was to be America’s first permanent English settlement, predating Plymouth in Massachusetts by 13 years. Through living history, a film and gallery exhibits, the 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, 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.

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 17th-century 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-halfmonth voyage from England.

Experience the actual place where the first representative assembly in America met and the first Africans arrived in Virginia. Explore the original site of the 1607 James Fort as archaeologists uncover the remains of this first settlement. In the mid-90s, archaeologists led by Dr. William Kelso of Preservation Virginia unearthed conclusive proof of the remains of James Fort. Digging has continued and more than one million artifacts have been excavated from the fort site. Weekdays from April – October, watch archaeologists at work in the 1607 James Fort site. 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. Once outdoors, join a guided ranger walk, archaeology walking tour or choose to stroll the island at your leisure. Remnants of the early settlement are still visible, including the 17th century brick church tower - the island’s only surviving aboveground structure as well as the archaeological remains of New Towne, established in the 1620s.

Voorhees Archaearium, Jamestown’s archaeology museum, displays more than 1,500 artifacts from James Fort and tells the story of how the Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists found the fort and what their excavations have revealed about the settlement. Here is also where you can follow the story of a fourteen-year-old English girl named ‘Jane’ by the archaeologists who found her. Her remains were discovered in 2012 among other evidence of “the starving time” winter of 1609-10. The bones were analyzed by Dr. Douglas Owsley of the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution. Owsley and his team identified signs of survival cannibalism. The results of this groundbreaking research - the first forensic evidence of survival cannibalism in the American colonies - were announced in May 2013. This evidence is presented at the Archaearium alongside similar studies of a young man’s death from a musket ball wound and the remains of a man believed to be Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, a founding father of Jamestown.

Yorktown Victory Center Experience Revolutionary Era Life 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 impact of the war upon ordinary men and women, start

Another gallery, Converging on Yorktown, describes the decisive campaign of the Revolution and the diversity of people and nationalities who were involved in the siege and British surrender at Yorktown in 1781. The emphasis on individual “witnesses” to the Revolution continues in a documentary film, “A Time of Revolution.” From Converging on Yorktown, you will descend to the lower floor to experience the fascinating story of “Yorktown’s Sunken Fleet,” ships lost or scuttled during the Yorktown siege. “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. This exhibition incorporates the theme of creating a new nation through development of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The living-history program offers visitors the opportunity to experience Revolutionary-era life firsthand.

see & do 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 yearround destination for history, shopping, outdoor recreation, fine dining and special events. For information about seasonal special events in Historic Yorktown, see the Calendar of Events page or visit www.visityorktown.org.
Yorktown Battlefield 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.
fun facts Yorktown Battlefield In the fall of 1781, General George Washington, with allied American and French forces, besieged General Charles Lord Cornwallis’s British army. On October 19, Cornwallis surrendered, effectively ending the war and ensuring independence. 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. goWilliamsburg.com

Busch Gardens Fun for the Whole Family!
It’s been 25 years since Go-Karts Plus opened its doors on the former site of the Great American Water Slide, and in that time it has gone from being a humble two-track park to a hugely popular, multifaceted amusement center. The original park sat on four acres of land and featured two go-kart tracks, bumper boats, Kiddie Land, a small arcade and miniature golf course. Today the “action park of Williamsburg” boasts eight acres, four go-kart tracks, bumper cars, blaster bumper boats, the Python Pit kiddie coaster, the DISK’O thrill ride, an expanded arcade and the brand-new Gold Rush Mini-Golf course. With entertainment suited for all ages, Go-Karts Plus is the premiere destination for the whole family to relax and have a blast. It’s also a perfect spot for birthday parties or other celebrations, and they have great group rate plans.

The
Great American Road Trip
Let Williamsburg be Your Guide as You Hit the Road to Fun! The summer sun beams over the horizon as Dad loads the final piece of luggage in our ’64 Buick Skylark Sportwagon. Mom is busy in the kitchen making ham sandwiches for the whole family as my sister and I excitedly lace our shoes and run outside to claim our spots in the backseat. As we pull out of the driveway, I smile to myself as I think about how much fun we’ll have on our family road trip. Five hours later, the sandwiches are long gone, Dad keeps complaining that gas has gone up to 36 cents a gallon, and for the 4 millionth time, my sister wants to know, “Are we there yet?” For decades, families have been setting out to accomplish the ideal concept of the Great American Road Trip. They all start out typically the same, and there’s usually some griping in the midst of spending hours in the car together, but what’s different each time is the destination and the excitement of finally stepping out of the car, ready to explore a new place for the first time. During your family’s visit to Williamsburg, it’s likely that you’ll spend at least a little time in the car each day of your vacation as you travel from place to place. To make your time between places more memorable than heads buried in video games and endless questions of, “Are we there yet?” we’ve mapped out a guide to some of the must-visit places in Williamsburg along with must-stops, must-eats and must-rides along the way.
Happy Travels!
Colonial Williamsburg
Must-Stop Along the Way: Merchants Square Let the kids choose a souvenir from R.P. Wallace’s General Store, offering a collection of toys, shirts, jewelry and more. Subside those sweet tooth cravings at Wythe Candy & Gourmet Shop where you’ll find fresh dipped caramel apples and chocolates. Must-Visit: Anderson’s Blacksmith Shop & Public Armoury Celebrate Colonial Williamsburg’s newest reconstruction as you watch a blacksmith take red-hot iron from the fire and, with hammer in hand, beat it into a variety of tools, hardware and weapons.
Must-Eat: The Trellis Quality ingredients are a staple at this eatery located on Duke of Gloucester Street. The seasonally-based menu is ever-changing, based on what’s growing locally, and you can be assured that any meal you have here will be one to remember. Must-Eat: Seasons Restaurant & Tavern Whether your family stops in for lunch, dinner or perhaps just a decadent dessert, there’s something on the menu for everyone in your group at this upscale but relaxed eatery. Must-Eat: Stephanos Pizza & Subs There’s something about kids and pizza that simply go hand-in-hand, and your family is guaranteed to fall in love with the signature slices served here. Indulge in one of their specialty pizzas, or build your own, allowing each family member to choose one topping. Must-Do: Williamsburg Walking Tours No road trip is truly complete without a little mischief, so partake in Williamsburg Walking Tours’ An Evening of Haunted Tales for some spooky good fun. Visit numerous sites where legend has it that ghosts have stirred up trouble as you hear tales from days of old.
destination
Jamestown Settlement & Historic Jamestowne Must-Stop Along the Way: Jamestown-Scotland Ferry Surely the kids have been pining to see the water, so give them an up close view by taking a ride on this free ferry that travels across the James River. Get out of the car for a bit and walk around the deck to enjoy beautiful scenery and fresh air! Must-Visit: James Fort And you thought your kids had a vivid imagination already; wait until they dress themselves in armor and pretend to go back in time to 1610–1614. The whole family will enjoy playing a game of quoits (ring-toss) and ninepins (bowling). Must-Eat: Jamestown Pie Company No matter what time of day it is, it’s always a good time for pie. At Jamestown Pie Company, your family can choose from a variety of pizza pies, pot pies, sandwiches and of course fruit and nut pies served a la mode, if you desire.

A Paradise for the Palate Impeccable culinary creations are found throughout the Historic Triangle’s dining scene Ever since the Jamestown settlers took their first bite of the Chesapeake Bay’s famous blue crab and delectable James River oysters, fine dining has been a top priority in the region. Since then the food scene has evolved tremendously. Cultural traditions have melded to create a truly diverse selection of restaurants rarely found in one area, and top chefs are taking over the Historic Triangle’s dining spots, putting their expert touches on each individual dish. These factors, combined with the copious bounty of fresh seafood and ripe fruits and veggies harvested locally, make Williamsburg a culinary Mecca for five-star dining. Throughout the Historic Triangle, dining options abound, making it an effortless task to find an impeccable meal fit for the most discerning of palates. Embark on a culinary journey through the countries of Italy, China, Japan, France, Mexico, Greece, Thailand and more as you sample authentically prepared dishes made right here in Williamsburg. Many chefs pay homage to the regional treasures that are handpicked from coastal Virginia’s waters and land. As the seasons change, so do the menus. As the chill wears off during spring, look for dishes brimming with freshly picked strawberries or tender asparagus shoots. Summer’s harvest brings forth a plethora of farm fresh veggies, including plump, juicy heirloom tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and sweet corn. Seafood is another commodity that’s harvested locally, and the options for preparation are endless. Take your pick of luscious grilled scallops drizzled with arugula pesto or pan-seared rockfish with lemon beurre blanc. Oysters are one of the region’s most sought • Full Bar • Extensive Wine Menu after delicacies, cultivated from the • Chicken, Lamb, Seafood & Vegetarian James and York Rivers.

dining wrapped quail stuffed with goat cheese, roasted prime rib with Yorkshire pudding and grass-fed burgers topped with foie gras. Perhaps you’ve got a sweet tooth you can’t seem to satisfy. Williamsburg is known for its divine selection of pastries, tortes and other marvelous confections. Pick up a yummy treat from a nearby cupcakery or a box of chocolate truffles from a sweet shop to enjoy on the ride home. The area’s restaurants have perfected the art of sugary selections, and you’re likely to find that it’s difficult choosing just one dessert to share. Go ahead and indulge; it’s absolutely worth it. Naturally there are some patrons whose standards surpass even the most discriminating tastes—the picky child. Not to worry; the abundant selections of fairly priced and kid-friendly restaurants in Williamsburg will leave your family feeling satisfied and in good spirits for each meal of the day. Start your morning off with a heaping stack of pancakes smothered in maple syrup and made-toorder omelets. For lunch, visit an American-style diner for a flavorful barbecue sandwich, or stop by an outdoor café to enjoy a fresh salad or bistro sandwich. The youngsters will enjoy dinner and a show at one of the entertaining dinner theaters, complete with endless selections of their favorite culinary creations. There’s truly something for everyone when dining in the Historic Triangle, so get your taste buds ready for a meal that will go down in history!
looking for an exceptional day of wine tasting and learning. They offer a variety of wines ranging from chardonnay and vidal blanc to merlot, meritage and white norton. Their warm and inviting tasting bar is open Tuesday–Sunday from 10 a.m.–6 p.m. The $8 tasting and tour fee includes an etched souvenir glass and entitles you to a tasting of any of their wines in current production along with wine crackers to cleanse your palate. Known for producing some of the best wines in the world, The Williamsburg Winery offers a variety of wines from rich, red merlot to crisp, white chardonnay to pleasantly sweet dessert wines. Partake in one of their three offered winery tours and tastings, including the general tour offered every half hour, the extensive tour and reserve wine tasting, available by reservation only in their private wine cellar, and the tour and tasting with lunch in the Gabriel Archer Tavern overlooking the vineyards. The winery is also home to Café Provencal, an upscale culinary experience that you’ll remember for a lifetime. Enjoy a glass of wine paired with an incredible offering at one of the restaurants, and spend an unforgettable afternoon basking in the delightful atmosphere of fine Virginia wine.
Local Libations
Nothing goes with a fabulous meal better than a frosty mug of beer or a chilled glass of wine— especially if the beverages were locally bottled. Williamsburg and surrounding areas are home to several breweries and wineries, so spend a day learning about the production of grapes and hops at some of the local places, and don’t forget to sample a few in the process! Established in 2006, Alewerks Brewing Company produces six types of beers featured year-round as well as seasonal beers. Whether you’re craving a wheat ale, a white ale or an IPA, Alewerks’ selection of year-round and seasonal beers are sure to please. Tours are offered every day at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. For just $6, guests can taste the variety of beers available on tap, so choose your favorite and buy a pint or a growler to enjoy at home. Just north on Interstate 264, Brass Cannon Brewing Co. in Toano is mixing the old world and new to create unique and dynamic beers. Although relatively fresh to the scene, this brewery prepares ales and stouts that are big on the lips, smooth on the finish and will have you both satisfied and begging for more. Their tasting room is open Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday noon–7 p.m., and their offerings vary from red to brown ale, amber and a full bodied stout. They currently offer beers on tap as well as growlers and kegs. While the best beer is being brewed nearby some of the best wines are being fermented just up the highway. Saudé Creek Winery marries the French varieties of grapes with the rich soil of New Kent County to create vintages which pair well with many of your favorite dishes. With many award-winning vintages and creative events, this is a must-visit all year long. The tasting room is open Wednesday–Monday from 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Tastings are $7 to sample their wines and include a Saudé Creek souvenir glass. Recognized by the Virginia Governor’s Cup in 2011 for their sensational whites, New Kent Winery & Vineyard is an accessible experience for those

WBVG_M14_63-83services.indd 72
Did you know that Williamsburg is a premier golfing destination? It’s not just a coincidence that the LPGA has returned here year after year. Both the professionals and the casual golfers know there’s something special about the courses found on Williamsburg’s lush grounds. For those looking to improve their swing or simply to enjoy some of the area’s natural beauty, Williamsburg has the privilege of boasting a grand selection of award-winning golf courses throughout the area. Few destinations can match the geographic diversity and provide such varied settings as the prestigious greens found here. Perhaps the number one reason golfers choose Williamsburg is the unmatched surroundings found at the courses here. At any point in the game, you could find yourself gazing over small, rolling hills, peering into a mystical forest or walking alongside the James River. The natural beauty of this area shines through at all area courses, providing a serene environment for total relaxation. Plus, the mild winters and balmy fall and spring seasons make the area a supreme golfing destination nearly year-round. In spite of the gorgeous surroundings, don’t get too relaxed. There are definitely some challenging holes on area courses—challenging enough that golfers keep coming back again and again to lower their handicap. Williamsburg’s courses offer something for every skill level—from the golfer who’s new to the game to the seasoned professional. This is all thanks to noteworthy architects who have had a hand in designing the courses, including Pete Dye, Rees Jones, Robert Trent Jones Sr., Arnold Palmer, Curtis Strange, John LeFoy and Nicklaus Design Associates. Players will discover wide, inviting fairways, artfully sculpted, true-rolling greens and dramatic elevation changes. Many of the courses here provide a dynamic playing experience which can accommodate both the devoted and the casual in the same group. There’s much to love about the game besides the actual game itself—such as the incredible amenities offered at the courses. Most golf courses offer lessons for every level of golfer. Whether you need to tweak your swing or get a full introduction to this game of precision, onsite pros are there to help. Learn the basics from one of the expert instructors, or work on advanced techniques with a pro. In addition to teaching the fundamentals, lessons can offer swing analyses, general pointers for evaluating the course and tips for your short game.

ferry Jamestown-Scotland Ferry When you ride on the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry, it’s not hard to imagine what the first colonists saw as they traveled on the same river 400 years ago. This 15-minute ride will give you a unique view of the land and connect you to interesting sites along the James River. 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-VA-Ferry or contact jsferryinput@vdot.virginia.gov.
