4. Jamestown Settlement

View replicas of the three ships and a fort occupied by the first settlers to arrive at Jamestowne in 1610. Historians, dressed in authentic period clothing, walk the grounds and are happy to answer your questions about life at the settlement. Visit the indoor gallery to see 30-minute documentary film and exhibits that document the lives of the English settlers, Powhatan Indians and African slaves who occupied the colony.   (© 10Best)

Opened in 1982 for the 275th anniversary of Jamestown, this museum features a recreated 1610 James Fort and a Powhatan Indian village. You can get your hands dirty here. Help make a dugout canoe, plant a garden, or grind corn. Climb aboard Godspeed, Discovery, and Susan Constant, replicas of the ships that brought the settlers to Virginia. Costumed interpreters will help you imagine the trip from England. A fantastic 30,000-square-foot gallery traces the paths of the Native, English, and African cultures as they came together in Jamestown. (from Southern Living)
