Amazing craftsmanship and ability to see the process up close and personal. It is great the people are so skilled and informative. The place is large enough for big groups. Must see in Jamestown. - James C
Very interesting museum about the archaeology of the Jamestown site. Amazing detective work done here - Jon Darveau
Beautiful and historical. So much to learn about. So informative. We had a lovely afternoon here. - Slightly Perfect
This museum is fantastic. The extensive exhibits are really interactive and alone would be worth it but the encampment and interactive outside exhibits are amazing and worth every second. - James C
Amazing place! A lot to see and a lot to do! Go in the church, sit near the water, see the archaerium and view the foundations of old houses! - Brandon Harris
The reason we came to Williamsburg was to support the Jamestown Settlers reenactment. This was a wonderful experience and I need to come back. - Kellie Black
