JAMESTOWN-YORKTOWN FOUNDATION – WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA

WWW.HISTORYISFUN.ORG/TOUR-OPERATORS

The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, an agency of the Commonwealth of

Virginia under the Secretary of Education, operates two AAM accredited living-

history museums in the Williamsburg area of Virginia. Both museums offer a

wide range of group experiences: educational programs, group tours,

performance package, dining and shopping all year long. The perfect addition to

any itinerary!

Jamestown Settlement

Near the site of the original colony, Jamestown Settlement tells the story of

17th-century Virginia, from the arrival of English colonists at Jamestown in

1607 to the cultural encounters and events that planted the seeds of a new

nation. The world of Jamestown, America’s first permanent English colony,

comes to life through film, gallery exhibits and outdoor living history.

Climb aboard replicas of the three ships that sailed from England to Virginia in

1607, and explore life-size re-creations of the colonists’ fort and a Powhatan

village. In the outdoor areas, costumed historical interpreters describe and

demonstrate daily life in early 17th-century Virginia.

American Revolution Museum at Yorktown

Near the battlefield where allied American and French forces

won the decisive battle of the American Revolution in 1781, the

American Revolution Museum at Yorktown chronicles the

Revolutionary period, from colonial unrest to the formation of

the new nation. The story of America’s evolution from colonial

status to nationhood is told through films, vibrant engaging

exhibits and participatory experiences inside a new museum

building and outdoors at a living-history Continental Army

encampment, featuring an artillery demonstration area and

Revolution-era farm.

October 15-16, 2016 is Preview Weekend for the new museum

with the debut of an introductory film and permanent galleries.

March 23-April 4, 2017, is the Grand Opening Celebration. The

13 original states will be highlighted in the order in which they ratified the Constitution. April 1 is Dedication Day. Plan

to visit and bring your groups to celebrate on state days: DE 3/23, PA 3/24, NJ 3/25, GA 3/26, CT 3/27, MA 3/28, MD

3/29, SC 3/30, NH 3/31, VA 4/1, NY 4/2, NC 4/3, RI 4/4. The new museum, along with Jamestown Settlement, will be

among the nation’s premier living-history museums telling the story of America’s beginnings.
