Jamestown, where it all 'really' started ... The catch to this visit is to know what you are looking for, authenticity or near-authenticity. Knowing what I know now, after having done the preceding, do the 'authentic' tour with the National Parks (as small and incongruous) as the original site may seem, remember this is what the 'original' colonists had to endure to give us all what we have today. Never mind Plymouth Rock, as contrary as this may see. The folks at Jamestown were truly indeed our 'first settlers' and risk-takers to no end.
First visit: Jamestown, authentic, NPS. Second visit: Jamestown Settlement (City entertainment park).
Keep your perspectives in order at both! You'll be more appreciative of Colonial Williamsburg, in reverse order, unless you visit this area first. In that case, be prepared to blow your mind in history, personified!
