About this adventure
Take a weekend family excursion to Historic Jamestowne on the James River, the original 1607 site of the first permanent English settlement in North America. Kids can watch active archaeologists unearthing 17th-century pottery and tools at the Rediscovery Archaearium archaeological museum, inspect reconstructed fort palisades, and meet period-dressed blacksmiths and trade interpreters. Children love the Junior Archaeologist activity sheet that challenges them to match soil strata and artifacts found right in the ground. The outdoor walking paths through New Towne are level pea-gravel and wooden walkways suitable for jogging strollers. The Archaearium is climate-controlled with modern ADA restrooms, baby diaper counters, and drinking fountains.
