Come, walk in the steps of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas as we explore American’s beginnings. Here is where the successful English colonization of North America began with Jamestown. Here is where the first seat of English government in America established it’s self. Here is where the first English representative government met and where the first arrival of Africans to English North American was recorded in 1619. Jamestown, the Beginning of America.
