jamestown settlement

作为两个成年人,这是我们第一次来这里,很喜欢。生活馆不错,和博物馆差不多,适合孩子。虽然船挺有趣,但很拥挤,尽管其他地方很安静。没想到船居然这么小,很庆幸,我们坐的是英国航空公司飞机!

这是一个非常有教育意义的历史景点,无论是在室内还是在室外。这里有曾经从英国到达这里的三艘船的复制品,现在仍在航行,然后就把这个地方命名为詹姆斯敦,我觉得这是这个经典最出彩的地方。这里还有印第安人房屋的复制品还有移民建造的堡垒,还有一个教堂。室内的图表是对这400年历史的一个综合性的展示,扩大并发展这个地方,和当地印第安人的冲突与合作,美国的改革和经济发展。在博物馆的入口处,是美国50个州的州旗和一块用来介绍各个州以及他们何时加入美国的匾状物。这次旅行不错,时间大约是2-3个小时。

这是个很不错的博物馆。是在原来波瓦坦村的防护基础上建造的,港口和船只也保留至今。博物馆很丰富,可以按编年顺序一一参观,能看到现实发生的历史在你面前按顺序前进。还有人带着你在波瓦坦村游览,懂了好多知识。很喜欢这里。

孩子们很喜欢詹姆斯敦观光,学到了许多知识。“角色”们知识丰富,爱和孩子们互动。最喜欢的是印度村,游船和殖民地。

我们一家人(老爸、老妈、10岁的女儿和6岁的儿子)最近去Williamsburg时来此参观。这里设计巧妙,很方便参观,而且很有趣。我不确定是否去了所有景点,不过以下是我们所去过的景点和一些体会。记住,如果你参加的是好几天的历史参观团,就可以离开几次再回来,我们觉得这样很方便。1、博物馆:博物馆有好几段约10分钟的短片,非常适合帮助来自不同地方的游客理解,而且短片时间不长,甚至我孩子们都能耐心看完,而且提供了很多信息。对孩子而言,博物馆面积很大,到处看展品也很累。这里还有有趣的手工艺品和复制品,非常值得花时间看看。这里还有一座咖啡厅,食物很好吃,而且价钱不贵。2、印度村:印度村不大也不小,很适合孩子玩,因为他们可以来回各间屋子。每件东西都很安全……这里还有化妆的员工在讲故事,并摇着篮子等。3、船:船并不是很大,但很壮观,很适合孩子玩,而且也很安全。孩子可以爬进床里,爬楼梯,几乎没什么限制。这里也有化妆的员工在讲故事等。4、码头:也很棒,虽然我们在那儿时正下着大雨……我觉得教堂很酷,而且一位化妆的员工正在展示枪……在大雨里。5、玻璃房:千万别错过!在这里能看见手工制作玻璃的过程,而且还能购买几件成品,价钱很便宜,很适合当做礼物。虽然到处都有卖的,但这里很便宜。6、出去路上我们也稍事休息,孩子们还在詹姆士河岸边玩……

Great place to visit the day we went was not too busy and so was quite peaceful outside by the river. As with many of the Government run places in the states it was clean tidy and friendly. If you are interested in this history they have done a great job of letting you wander around and imagine what it must of been like for the settlers. I

A brilliant day out. The re-enactments were excellent as were the buildings and the grounds upon which they were located.

There are two Jamestown attractions located within about one mile of each other. One is Historic Jamestowne (part of the Colonial National Historical Park operated by the National Park Service) which is the original site of Jamestown. The second is Jamestown Settlement which includes a re-created fort and three replica ships. This review is for the latter, Jamestown Settlement, which is a great family destination. The Visitor’s Center is large and well-organized, with an outstanding 25-minute film to start your visit. Next are several galleries with attractive exhibits documenting the decades of the 1600s. Beyond the Visitor’s Center is an extensive walking area which includes a re-created Powhatan Indian Village, a re-created James Fort, and replicas of the three ships that brought the original settlers to what became Jamestown. The entire facility is attractive, well-organized and entertaining; highly recommended.

I came to Williamsburg and did the tour. I loved this beautiful area. The National Park Service has done an amazing job preserving the area.

I'll be going here for my 3rd year in a row in about a month with my 8th grade class from Oregon. This is a must-experience! Try the Reuben sandwich in the cafeteria! Here's a true story from this place. Over 50 yrs. ago, the Queen of England visited. She was not pleased. They had not posted the "great seal" in the church/chapel as they would have done in the 1600s. The folks at Jamestown Settlement took note and when she returned some 50 years later, a smile could be seen on her face when she noticed the seal properly posted. I heard this story from a man that was there BOTH times she visited. It's this kind of attention to detail that makes this living museum great!

A good depiction of colonial life and the struggles they faced. Actors well versed on the character they play.

To say I'm a history buff, is a bit of an understatement. I love to study history and going to Jamestowne Settlement is a great way to do it. They have an excellent museum when you first enter with lots of information. Outside they have recreations of the fort and an indian village and the ships that first brought the colonists over. I particularly enjoyed watching the carpentry demonstrations.

Wow! Wonderful place to "experience" history!! My 2 grandchildren enjoyed this as much if not better than Colonial Williamsburg. A must see. Plan for a full day to truly experience.

Jamestown Settlement was an amazing adventure. It is well worth the admission price-about $16 for an adult. We visited on Sunday afternoon, February 22. It was cold (but sunny) so there were very few other visitors at that time. We stopped at the onsite cafeteria before we started going through the settlement. The layout of the cafe is confusing and the staff did not appear very friendly even though the cafeteria was almost deserted. The Brunswick stew was rather blah as was the soup of the day. The sandwiches were ok. We spent alot of time going through the indoor galleries and watching the most excellent film presentations. The exhibits were of Smithsonian museum quality. Top notch. The Powhatan Indian Village was great fun. We crouched down to enter one of the houses through the low door and once inside were fascinated by the campfire smoke drifting lazily up and out the top of the house while we sat on fur covered benches and took in the authentic trappings of this era while a guide in full costume chatted with us and answered questions. From there we hiked a short way to board a recreation of the Susan Constant ship. We were allowed to explore it from one end to another, up and down and it was great fun! A crowing rooster met us at the entrance to James Fort and we were on our own to explore the houses, storehouse, church, etc. Be sure to ask one of the costumed townsfolk why the beds were so short back in the day. We had a most wonderful time visiting Jamestown Settlement. If we are visiting the area again, I would definitely make plans to revisit Jamestown Plantation.

We did an impromptu family road trip and decided to stay in Williamsburg and take our kids (11 and 8) to Jamestown. While the day was chilly, we really had a good time. The outdoor exhibits were great and the staff was very informative and took the time to teach the kids and answer all the questions that they had. We enjoyed watching the native americans make a knife sheath and other tools using a deer's leg. The settlement is a great value and nice family stop.
