Film and Galleries
Begin your visit to Jamestown Settlement with the new dramatic documentary film, 1607: A Nation Takes Root, shown every 30 minutes in the museum theater. The film traces the evolution of the Virginia Company that sponsored the Jamestown Colony, examines the relationship between the English colonists and the Powhatan Indians, and chronicles the arrival of the first Africans in 1619.
The events and environment of 17th-century Virginia are brought to life in Jamestown Settlement's introductory film and exhibition galleries. New 30,000-square-foot gallery exhibits and a new introductory film explore Jamestown's beginnings as a business venture, the impact of European colonization on the Powhatan Indian culture, and the origins of the first known Africans in Virginia. Hundreds of objects from 17th-century Europe and Africa and Virginia archaeological artifacts are integrated into the gallery setting, which features three-dimensional structures and small theaters.
