James Fort, Jamestown Island, Virginia


The Union Jack flies over the wooden palisades of the representation of James Fort on its original site on Jamestown Island.  Behind these walls, exhibits and archaeological digs greet visitors.

 Just down the road at Jamestown Settlement  is a fully recreated James Fort, complete with buildings, artisans, replica boats, and military exhibitions, giving the unique ability to see the real site, pictured above, in its skeletal stage and the fully functional recreated fort in the same day.

Beautiful shot. It's hard to imagine this stockade offering much protection after seeing the much more elaborate ones in all the old western movies.

I love this post. We visited there when I was in high school and I did not appreciate what I was visiting at the time.

I doesn't look like much, but I guess back in the day, it was enough...
