Jamestown, Virginia

Jamestown Settlement was really cool! In addition to the indoor museum and film, there is an outdoor experience which includes a re-creation of the James Fort, a Powhatan Indian Village, and replicas of the three ships that the English settlers arrived in. Each area has costumed guides to teach you about life during that time and hands-on experiences for everyone to try.

The ships were my favorite!

This is a really fun place to take the kids! If you get a chance, check it out.

Jamestown is also really close to Yorktown and Williamsburg, which we didn't have time to visit, but you could make a whole vacation out of just these sites!
