The Great American GEOGRAPHY Project
Aug. 17, 2007
Jamestown, VA
 

Since this is the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, we made it a point to visit Jamestown while we were in Virginia. They’d added quite a few things since our last visit around 6 years ago.

 

The archaeology exhibits were nicely done. I especially like the way you could see the old foundation under glass as you walked into the new visitor’s center.

 

We wandered through the visitor’s center and archeology museum, stopped by the statues of John Smith and Pocahontas, had a listen to the archaeologist volunteer at the dig site, and even put our feet into the river to step out again as did the very first settlers.

G'day! This year (and possible the next!) one of our major homeschooling goals is to attack US geography in a hands-on, go there, do that manner. We actually began last week, but a friend wisely suggested that a blog would be a great way to keep track of our journeys. And so we start, branching out from our homebase of Gettysburg PA.... Destination? America!
