Historic Jamestowne: Where History Comes Alive

Favorite family field trip? Hard decision, but (for now) I’m going with Historic Jamestowne Settlement. Meet the Historic Triangle: Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamsburg. Yet, with all that greatness in just one area, this one place stood out because it was so full of history. I have never found another place as full of opportunities for a kid with a love of archeology. 🧭Experience the current dig site. 🧭Watch the resident archeologists pull an artifact out of the ground and show it to you. 🧭Visit the artifact museum. 🧭Learn how the original Jamestown boundaries have shifted with the tide. 🧭Peer down into the basement where evidence of their starving was found. 🧭Stand near the place where Pocahantas met James Smith. ❤️Meet amazing grown ups who love history as much as you do - and are spending their lives finding more answers. PS: If your kids aren’t into history, maybe they just haven’t been to some amazing places yet. Gotta make history come alive. 🤓 👉Check out the blog link in my profile for in-depth info about these amazing historical places in Virginia. 👉👉What’s your favorite history trip?
