Up until 1994 and the work of a renegade archeologist, William Kelso,the location of the original fort at Jamestown was thought to have eroded away. This monument from 1907 is just steps away from what has now been confirmed to have been the site of the original fort.
Andy had been asking the day before if there were still things to "discover" here on Earth. Now, thanks to a scientist who was not deterred by critics we stood within the replicated walls of Jamestown exactly where they stood more than 300 years ago.
A painting of the wedding of Pocahontas to John Rolfe hanging in the Capitol Rotunda.
The wedding site was just rediscovered two years ago and is now an active acheological dig
(on hiatus for the winter).
This is such amazing history being uncovered. They have an artifact museum that is constantly being updated with thousands of new finds every day in the summer.
