Jamestown Virginia prepares for a May weekend marking the 400th anniversary of America's first English settlement. The event recalls the May 14 1607 landing of 104 settlers aboard the Susan Constant Godspeed and Discovery.
Jamestown served as an experimental settlement shaping colonial governance with 1619 orders from the Virginia Company to form a general assembly. It established English as a national language, fostered tobacco as a profitable crop, and brought diverse groups together amid occasional conflicts.
The Jamestown settlement portrays English colonists who arrived in 1607 and the Powhatan Indians who lived in the area for centuries. A historical interpreter demonstrates open hearth cooking, inviting visitors to witness early colonial life and celebrate ongoing Native presence.
