Jamestown Rediscovery

The Jamestown Rediscovery will develop an outdoor and online educational program that will explore the evolution of American governance, the origins of American slavery, and the ramifications of race-based legislation that began at Jamestown. Working with community partners and scholars, staff will hold community discussions and lectures. Staff will create an on-site exhibit as well as a virtual version that centers archaeological evidence and extant first-person accounts. In association with the exhibit, staff will produce educational materials, including an exhibit booklet with a self-guided tour of the Jamestown site.
