Memorial Church

Historic church- the area is undergoing archaeological discovery revealing a larger community around the original structure.

It’s amazing to see a completely reconstructed building on the Jamestown site. It really helps pull the rest of the site together and having the Timelapse video play on the TV inside was great to watch as well. Instead of just having to use your own imagination, you feel like you are actually at a settlement.

The atmosphere feels gentle here. It's a great place for a casual stroll. The grounds are very large and there's something to see at every stop.

Besides what little has been preserved and or dug up there's not much original pieces here. Mostly all reconstructions. But, it's still worth the time out to walk and enjoy Virginia's first official settlement.

The Jamestown Church is the center of the site. When I visited they were working on it. Though, to be honest, they are always working on it. Not the first made church but it survived the longest. And even on the hottest of days it can be a nice cool place to rest.

When I visited this they were excavating underneath the floor boards where the man that was knighted had been located. If you look around the structure you might have noticed some emblems, one of which had the Knights Garter, and some attributes to the time period in antiquity. Certainly one of the oldest buildings still standing in the Americas.
