Jamestown National Historic Site

Jamestown National Historic Site is located on the western end of Jamestown Island, Virginia, 7 miles from Colonial Williamsburg, off the Colonial Parkway.

Part of this site of the first permanent English settlement in North America (1607) is on the upper end of Jamestown Island, scene of the first representative legislative government on this continent, July 30, 1619.

In 1934 the rest of the 1500 acres of Jamestown Island were acquired by the National Park Service as part of Colonial National Historical Park.

Gram and Pops visited here with family in April 1985 and February 1980.
