Experience this rich history for yourself at Jamestown, the site of the first permanent English settlement and representative government in the New World; at Williamsburg, where the ideas of democracy, liberty and revolution flowered; at Yorktown, where our independence was won with the decisive victory of the Revolutionary War.

Jamestown and Yorktown tell their stories through film, artifact-filled galleries and outdoor living history, these museums engage visitors in nearly two centuries of our nation's history - from the founding of America's first permanent English settlement in 1607 to the decisive Revolutionary War victory in 1781 and implementation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
