Historic Jamestown - Friday October 8th

Historic Jamestown is on the western end of the Colonial Pkwy. It is America's first permanent

English Colony and was established in 1607. Archeologists have exposed ruins and original foundations

 on the 22.5 acre site. The site's only surviving 17th century structure is the 1690's tower of Jamestown's 

brick church. Previous buildings on the site include the church where the first legislative assembly met in 

1619. Earlier foundations are visible through the glass floor of the 1907 Jamestown Memorial church.
