Historic Jamestowne - For Teachers (U.S. National Park Service)

Historic Jamestowne, a part of Colonial National Historical Park (NHP), has been providing educational programs for many years. Focusing on Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOLs) requirements for grades K-12, Historic Jamestowne offers both indoor classroom style programs and educational walking tours of the Historic Site.

Reserved Educational programs are available weekdays from October through May. There is a $30.00 fee for each program. For information on how to make a reservation for one of these programs to the Plan A Field Trip and then Reservations.

Groups unable to partake in a ranger-led program can explore the historic site on their own. Although Colonial NHP and Historic Jamestowne are National Fee Areas, educational institutions are eligible for a waiver of this entrance fee.

LUNCH

Picnicking facilities are extremely limited. There are two areas with picnic tables, however neither have overhead shelters. Both of these picnic areas are in the public parking area.

Historic Jamestown is a "leave no trace" trash free area. All groups are expected to carry out what trash they bring in. It is suggested that schools groups bring trash bags with them so they can carry out their trash.
