Colonial History
Travel back in time to the earliest days of American history and experience the excitement of a brand new nation! Explore the settlement of Jamestown and spend a day in the life of a Colonial-era kid, set foot on Plymouth Rock, visit a Quaker meeting, or learn about how modern-day interpreters recreate historical life at Sturbridge Village. Learn what life was really like on a southern plantation—including for the people who were enslaved there—and discover the details of lesser-known conflicts like King Philip’s War. Have you ever wondered how people spent their days in Colonial America? Find out how people worked, studied, and played, and meet a real blacksmith! For those interested in archaelogy, a special issue of DIG Magazine uncovers real skeletons found on the remains of the original Jamestown fort!
