First, to be clear, this review is for "Jamestown Settlement", which is the recreated Jamestown with historic reenactment - not the historic fort site on the National Park Service land down the road.
We came here to focus on the outdoor part of the experience in December during the pandemic, when there were sparse crowds. As a result, it was probably not equivalent of the "full experience". There were three main components to the site. First, was a recreation of a Native American village. When we were there, there were three re-enactors who explained some aspects of Native American life at the time. After that was the recreated Jamestown fort - which had approximately half a dozen reenactors demonstrating cooking, needlework, and blacksmithing. The fort included several buildings and a much sturdier palisade then the one in the archaeological site down the road. Finally, there were two of three recreated ships down the road - one was gone for repairs, and you could board one of the remaining two (though not go below decks while we were there). It was an interesting thing to see.
One nagging thought, though, is that the whole thing was presented as too "clean". The fort had plenty of clean, open space - wasn't crowded or dirty. The Native American village nearby had no hint of conflict with the English settlers. As a result, it felt a little like a "safe for children", clean, Disney version of history.
