Jamestown Settlement is open with adjustments to operations and access to outdoor living-history areas and gallery exhibits so visitors can enjoy the museum experience while following new safety protocols and social-distancing procedures. Learn more at historyisfun.org/welcome.

If you can't visit the museum in person, virtual museum experiences and engaging and educational online resources are available at historyisfun.org/at-home.

Jamestown Settlement, a museum of 17th-century Virginia, explores America's first permanent English colony through film, galleries and living history in outdoor re-creations of a Powhatan Indian village, three English ships and 1610-14 colonial fort.

Gallery exhibits and an introductory film trace Jamestown's beginnings in England and the first century of the Virginia colony and describe the Powhatan Indian, English and west central African cultures that converged in early Virginia. Outdoors, visitors can explore re-creations of a Powhatan Indian village, climb aboard one of three ships - Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery, or experience life in the Jamestown colony in a re-created fort.

Open year-round 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except Christmas and New Year’s days. Outdoor living-history areas open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Administered by the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and supported by Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, Inc. for private fund development.
