Jamestown Settlement

Jamestown Settlement is a wonderful place to go with your family.  Aside from a great indoor museum, they have recreated the Powhatan camp (where Pocahontas lived) and Jamestown…it literally brings history alive.  We have a blast there.  Homeschool week was our second time there, and everyone still loved it.  They had classes for the kids as well.  I’m going to include photos from both of our visits.  We read Pocohantas’ biography, and this was like stepping into the story.  Magical!
