Colonial National Historical Park

Historic Jamestowne

Address: 1368 Colonial Pkwy, Jamestown, VA 23185

This Virginia park bookends America's colonial story: Jamestown, where English settlers built the first permanent English settlement in 1607, and Yorktown, where Washington's army and French allies forced Cornwallis to surrender in 1781, effectively ending the Revolutionary War.

Watch glassblowing at the Jamestown Glasshouse, walk the earthworks at Yorktown, and tour the battlefield roads; young kids can earn Junior Ranger badges. For a challenge, bike the 23-mile Colonial Parkway linking the two sites, plus the battlefield tour roads.
