Jamestown & Yorktown
The Jamestown Settlement re-creates the first permanent English settlement in America in 1607. A long and bitter battle for independence ended with the British surrender at Yorktown to General George Washington in 1781. At both of these locations, living history museums depict the story of America’s battle for independence. View unique artifacts, speak with costumed interpreters, and experience life in the 17th and 18th centuries.
