The first permanent English settlement in America was established here in 1607.  Jamestown now consists of two distinct areas: the original site, where the only remaining 17th century building is a brick church tower and Jamestown Settlement, with a reconstructed Indian village, replicas of the three ships in which the first settlers arrived and a reproduction of the original English triangular log fort.  Re-live the gruelling 5-month voyages that carried 104 hardy men across the Atlantic to the New World as you board the authentic replica vessels.
