Jamestown settlement

This living-history museum tells the story of America’s first permanent English colony.  It gives an excellent overview of the people involved, their conflicts, and the methods used .

Displays like these explain the different groups that intersected during the colonization of Virginia. 
The museum is set in a verdant area.

I love to travel, do arts and crafts and photography. But most of all, I like to combine them all.
