In July 2012, we finally had a chance to visit the famous and the birthplace of the United States of America, Jamestown in Virginia. We went to the place where the first settlers lived. It is now a national park and many researchers and students are there to explore the site to learn about the early settlement in US.
This is the monument dedicated to commemorate Jamestown as the birthplace of US.
This is one of the structure inside the park, nothing fancy. We can imagine that the early settlers were living in hard condition.
This is the statue of Captain John Smith. He was one of the leaders in the settlement in the early days. He learned Indian language and therefore he was able to communicate with the Indians promoting communication between early settlers and the Indians.
The church has been rebuilt several times since the first one around year 1600.
It is believed that there is a fort in the site but researchers are still trying to prove that.
