New National Park Project to Preserve Jamestown Colony
A new National Colonial Monument will cover Jamestown Island and nearby sites in Virginia under the Cramton bill. The plan includes a sea wall, drained marshes, a possible replica of the settlement, and a road linking Jamestown to Williamsburg and Yorktown. The project, led by A B E Demarey, aims to preserve colonial history from 1607 to 1781 and involves John D. Rockefeller Jr in Williamsburg restoration, with the Yardstown area to be prepared for October 1931 anniversary events.
