Historic America

Historic Jamestowne is where England's first permanent American settlement took root in 1607, and it is still being dug up today. Families walk the actual ground, watch archaeologists at work, and handle the kind of history that does not stay behind glass.

Plimoth Patuxent Museums brings the story of the 1620 Mayflower voyage and the Wampanoag homeland to life through living history you can walk through, touch, and talk back to. Kids meet real interpreters in character, step aboard a full-scale ship, and leave with a sense of how hard and how human this piece of American history actually was.

St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest continuously occupied European city in the United States, founded by Spanish settlers in 1565. At its heart stands Castillo de San Marcos, a coquina stone fortress that has never fallen in battle and gives kids a genuine feel for colonial life on the Atlantic coast.
