Jamestown Scotland Ferry:
This amazing Ferry ride across the James River will take you to the hidden gem better known as Surry, Virginia. There is a wide variety of things to do while in Surry. You can stop in to see the wildlife at Chippokes Park or visit the wildlife preserve at Hogg Island. Also, check out Bacons Castle for the 1600s from Bacons Rebellion and other monumental and historically enriched areas.

Jamestown Settlement and Jamestown Island:
Jamestown Island is the location of the fort built in 1607. This is operated by the National Park Service. Jamestown Settlement is a privately-owned interpretive center. The settlement is on Jamestown island but is not the site of the original fort. Both are great for a variety of different reasons. Jamestown has ruins and a museum with numerous hands-on indoor and outdoor displays. It is the site of the only British knight burial in the US. For the history buffs, Jamestown Island is preferable.
