Exploring the Virginia Colony

by Christin Ditchfield

Overview

Step back in time and visit Virginia during the Colonial period. Virginia is home to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The first settlers faced a lack of food and conflicts with Native Americans, but eventually more colonists flocked to Virginia for farming opportunities. Find out what makes Virginia unique, what role it played during the Revolutionary War, and what daily life was like in Colonial times and the early days of statehood.
