Special Holiday programming at Jamestown Settlement & Yorktown Victory Center
At Foods & Feasts of Colonial Virginia, November 26-28, visitors to Jamestown Settlement can see how food was prepared and preserved by Virginia's English colonists and Powhatan Indians. At the Yorktown Victory Center, learn about typical soldier's fare during the American Revolution.
Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown Victory Center history museums will offer a glimpse of 17th- and 18th-century holiday seasons during "A Colonial Christmas," December 1, 2009, through January 3, 2010. At Jamestown Settlement, a film and guided tours compare and contrast English Christmas customs of the period with how the season may have been observed in the difficult early years of the Jamestown colony. At the Yorktown Victory Center, hear accounts of Christmas and winter in military encampments during the American Revolution and glimpse holiday preparations on a 1780s Virginia farm.
