Saving the Past: The Incredible Story of Jamestown Rediscovery’s Archaeological Work at Jamestown Colony, and Its Race to Save the Remaining Archaeological Record of the First Permanent English Settlement in North AmericaOn September 13, 2025, American Heritage Partners and the Northern California Company of the Jamestown Society are co-hosting a special luncheon featuring a fascinating lecture about the archaeological work being done at the historic Jamestown Colony, and the thousands of artifacts that have been unearthed at the site of the original Jamestown Fort and surrounding areas on the James River. Our special guest speaker will be Mr. Michael Lavin, Director of Collections and Conservation at Jamestown Rediscovery, whose archaeologists have uncovered countless treasures and continue to make astounding discoveries. Mr. Lavin will share some of those discoveries with us and explain the critical role that archaeology has played in our understanding of life in the earliest permanent English settlement in the New World. He also will talk about how climate change is posing an existential threat to the Jamestown site, and why public and private support for Jamestown Rediscovery’s work is so critically needed to complete the work before priceless artifacts are forever lost.
