💲 Entrance fees: Please note that Historic Jamestowne requires admission.

• Youth (6–15): $5
• Children under 6: Free
• Pass holders: Annual and America the Beautiful passes apply for the NPS portion, but the $15 Preservation Virginia fee still applies.
👉 Carpooling is a great idea if someone in our group has a pass—it helps save on costs and makes parking easier. 🚗💚
Along the way, we’ll pass interpretive signs, historic landmarks, and maybe even spot local wildlife like herons or bald eagles 🦅🐢. The trail is flat, stroller-friendly, and suitable for all levels.
🕒 Estimated time: About 2–2.5 hours at a relaxed pace with stops for views and photos.
Bring water, comfy walking shoes, and your curiosity—history and beauty await around every bend! 👟📜
🍴 Optional lunch: After the hike, those who wish can join us at Jamestown Café & 1781 Café by Aromas (2110 Jamestown Rd, Williamsburg, VA), just a 5-minute drive from the trailhead, for a casual meal with outdoor seating. If it’s busy, our backup spot will be Billsburg Brewery & Food Trucks (2054 Jamestown Rd, Williamsburg, VA), also about a 5-minute drive, perfect for a relaxed, social bite outdoors. 🍻
