Participants learn about “James Towne,” which is what the original settlers called Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. Where was it founded, how was it settled, what did it look like? Who were these brave people that traveled across a vast ocean to start a new life? What was their life like? Who were the “tobacco brides”? These questions and more are answered and discussed as we together experience life at the James Towne settlement.
