REDISCOVERING JAMESTOWN

The word "pioneers" brings to mind images of cowboys, covered wagons, and the Wild West. But English pioneers to Jamestown, Virginia, came more than 200 years earlier - in 1607. Relive the hazards that faced the first settlers, such as the dangerous sea voyage, rough winters, and food shortages. Watch the colonists' changing relations with their new Indian neighbors. Find out which Jamestown crop caused a European sensation and led to further colonization of the New World. Discover why Jamestown grew and prospered where earlier English settlements had failed. Marvel in the discovery of the lost fort and the amazing artifacts that are being uncovered. This September, join COBBLESTONE ® in rediscovering Jamestown, the settlement that turns 400 years old next year.
