Historic Jamestowne vending machines

The Park Service at Historic Jamestowne has no eating facilities. However the Visitor Center has three vending machines on the back patio with drinks, water and snacks and there are two small picnic areas in the parking lot with benches and tables. These picnic areas are “leave no trace” areas so please take your trash with you when you are finished. These picnic areas are the only areas where you may picnic at Historic Jamestowne.
