Map of the location of Historic Jamestowne on Jamestown Island in Virginia. Jamestown Island is shown in pale green with estuaries outlined in blue. On the west side of the island, a dark pink rectangle encloses Historic Jamestowne with a note reading, “see detail map.”

Extended Description

Colonial Parkway cuts east to west across the map. On the east side is a note that reads, “To Williamsburg and Yorktown.” The parkway runs past three unlabeled exhibits represented by pink semicircles on the gray road and by the Jamestown Information Center (seasonal), Jamestown Settlement, and wheelchair-accessible Jamestown Glasshouse. Jamestown Settlement (Commonwealth of Virginia) is a tan rectangular area of land at the intersection of County Road 614 and State Route 31. County Road 614 runs north-south from Colonial Parkway, and State Route 31 runs northeast “To Williamsburg” and southwest “To ferry.”

Jamestown Island

Colonial Parkway hooks south onto the island and leads to the wheelchair-accessible Visitor Center. The Town Site, represented by a yellow wedge, sits against the James River south of the Visitor Center. These grounds are maintained by Preservation Virginia. Noted sites within the area are Voorhees Archaearium Archaeology Museum and James Fort.

Past the parking area, Colonial Parkway becomes Island Drive and makes two one-way loops. The first loop, in the center of the island, leads past five exhibits and circles the Pitch and Tar Swamp. The second loop, on the east side of the island, leads past five exhibits, including a walking trail to Black Point.

The path of the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry is indicated by a blue dashed line that veers south down the James River.
