The first English colony in North American was founded by Captain John Smith and 104 settlers in 1607 at Jamestown, Virginia. The hardships of famine, disease, bitter winters, Indian attacks and even cannibalism are retold at Historic Jamestowne. Among the ruins are remnants of several structures built on this site dating back to 1639. You can also explore this memorial church. The historical place of worship for the earliest pioneers was reconstructed in 1907 using the original bricks.
