Jamestown 1607
www.jamestown1607.org
The Virginia Tourism Corporation's website, Jamestown 1607, set up to mark 'America's 400th anniversary' contains a wealth of material about the settlement and early American history. It begins by telling the stories of two dozen individuals associated with the colony, including those of native Virginian Indians such as Chief Accopatough, who signed the original agreement to give land to the settlers. The website contains a lot more than is immediately apparent, and it is worth exploring the links under Visit Jamestown.
