Jamestown's current tourism Jamestown includes two tourist areas, namely Jamestown's former site and Jamestown's colonial landscape.
The former site of Jamestown is a historic site on the Jamestown River. 1607, 104 The British, led by John Smith and John Smith, landed on this land after more than four months of difficult navigation, thus opening an important chapter in the history of North America, that is, establishing a new British colonial order. These British people not only trafficked black laborers from Africa, but also vigorously planted crops such as tobacco, which opened up new resources for British economic development. But also through the marriage of John Rolfe, a British officer, and Pocahontas, the daughter of a local Indian tribal leader, a colonial regime was successfully established in this land. 1699 was the state capital of Virginia. Due to the unique historical background of this land, a large oil painting of Indian "Princess" pocahontas baptized by a British officer was hung in the lobby of the US Capitol.
There is a small museum, a granite monument commemorating the 300th anniversary of landing, a full-length bronze statue of pocahontas, the ruins of an old church and a bronze statue of John Smith facing the James River in the visitor center building.
Strolling in the land where the British camped 300 years ago, I can't help but sigh: What perseverance and superhuman patience do pioneers who are far away from home need to gradually introduce European civilization into this desolate and backward new world.
The Indian village exhibition site is another scenic spot. At the gates of several shacks made of branches, mud and grass, young people dressed as Indians introduced their means of survival, such as hunting tools, fishing boats, corn, beans and cold-proof animal fur.
Another scenic spot is three seagoing ships by the river. Some people on board dressed up as sailors and took photos with tourists in a friendly way. 1607, three seagoing ships, Discovery, Bon voyage and Susan Constant, not only completed their first voyage from England to the New World; In addition, it will continue to send troops and materials to Virginia and transport tobacco back to Britain.
The last attraction is Fort James, where British troops are stationed. There are warehouses, churches, sentries and brigs in the camp, surrounded by wooden fences. The house where 5-6 soldiers live is very simple, which is probably the real life style of early British colonists!
