Welcome to Colonial National Historical Park! Colonial is a series of historic adventures, natural beauty, scenic drives, and exciting archeology. At Colonial, there is something for every family member's sense of adventure.

At least 2-3 hours is recommended at each of the sites of Jamestown and Yorktown. You can:

• Explore visitor centers and museums.
• Visit the museum gift shops
• View short introductory films
• Follow a park ranger on a tour of the historic areas and learn why Colonial National Historical Park is considered the beginning and end of English Colonial America.

For younger visitors there are Junior Ranger Programs. Several hands on programs are also available during the summer season. To learn more about these programs visit the Things to Do web page.

As Cape Henry Memorial has no Visitor Center or services, less time is required there.
