Jamestown and Yorktown  

These historic communities lie near Colonial Williamsburg. Although people live in Yorktown, I couldn't find much action around Jamestown. There are two parts of Jamestown. The part I went to is the actual site where the first English settled in America that is a National Park. There is another thing across the street that offers dramatic presentations, tshirts, simalacrums of the tall ships and the like.
