My sister-in-law and niece visited for a long weekend and we went to the Jamestown Settlement. It was a beautiful day. The temperature was only in the mid 80s (around 29C) and low humidity.
There were a lot of actors wandering around in historical garb. They had a lot of interesting information about the settlement and the Powhatan Indians.
Here are some shots of the Powhatan village. You can see one of the actors above. She was making tools out of deer bone.
The inside of the huts were all furnished and had a lot of animal pelts. Mostly deer, but we also saw bear, wolf and skunk pelts. Outside of the huts were large mortar and pestles. They had corn in them and everyone had a go at pounding the corn.
Near the water there were replicas of the ships that the settlers used to cross the Atlantic. They were a tad small for my liking.
It was an exhausting day. My niece can sum it up with one picture.
