Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in the New World. The grounds of the Old Town area include the ruins of the original James Fort as well as the restored Jamestown Church. While strolling the grounds, you might even see excavations in progress, as archaeologists continue to uncover more about the early settlers and their lives. It’s definitely worth spending time in the Archaearium, which includes religious objects, tools, coins, and personal items that have been discovered over the years.
