The Jamestown Settlement included a modern museum with exhibits with placards explaining the significance of the items in the exhibits, movies to assist you in understanding the role of the Powhatan Settlement in the revolution, the Powhatan Settlement and ships.
The Powhatan tribe lived around the outside of the gated town. The settlement allowed people to see how the Powhatan people lived including food, tents as well as their skills. Presenters provided insight into many aspects of life for the Powhatan people. When studying the Powhatan people, it is important to note how they view the quality of human life and how they treated their prisoners of war.
Three battleships were docked and open for tour at the settlement. These ships were used for battle, but also for transporting people between the New World and England. See what life was like for the sailors and passengers. Presenters provided some insight on how the ship was used and use some visitors to demonstrate important tasks of operating a large ship.
The museum provided several sets of clean indoor and outdoor restroom facilities, cafeteria, and several gift shops throughout the museum and outdoor settlement.
