Photo Tips For
Exploring Historic Jamestowne, Virginia |
|
Historic Jamestowne recently celebrated
its 400th Anniversary. When you visit you'll find it is a rare
opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Captain John Smith and
Pocahontas just as they did while exploring our nation’s early
beginnings.
Children especially enjoy the costumed
interpreters who lead tours through the winding streets of Historic
Jamestowne, tracing the colony’s beginnings in England. What a great
way to learn about history as the interpreter describes the cultures
of the Powhatan Indians, Europeans and Africans who converged there
in the 1600's. Our girls, who loved the movie Pocahontas, learned
more about her life and how she contributed to the history of our
country.
 With
visually inspiring streetscapes depicting the stories of our
ancestors, it is no wonder that Jamestowne is a haven for
photographers. Among the highlights are, The State House, The
Meeting House, The Statue of John Smith and The Glasshouse and Loop
Drive. |
