Locality: Chesterfield County Henricus Historical Park 251 Henricus Park Road Chester, VA 23836 Driving Directions Experience what it was like when the first English settlers moved to America by taking a trip to Henricus Historical Park in Chesterfield County. Established in 1611 by Sir Thomas Dale, Henricus was the second successful English city in the New World. It was built along the James River on land inhabited by the Appomattocks tribe, where Pocahontas grew up. Harsh battles were fought when the English first arrived in America. It was the marriage between Pocahontas and John Rolfe that helped bring a peaceful coexistence between the two warring factions. Daily, visitors enjoy a very interactive experience as costumed interpreters bring early Virginia history to life!
