This evaluated inventory identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved inventory records when all required data fields are entered, the park superintendent concurs with the information, and the landscape is determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places through a consultation process or is otherwise managed as a cultural resource through a public planning process. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures (LCS), assists the National Park Service (NPS) in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2001), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management. Since launching the CLI nationwide, the NPS, in response to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), is required to report information that respond to NPS strategic plan accomplishments. Two goals are associated with the CLI: 1) increasing the number of certified cultural landscapes (1b2B); and 2) bringing certified cultural landscapes into good condition (1a7). The CLI maintained by Park Historic Structures and Cultural Landscapes Program, WASO, is the official source of cultural landscape information. Implementation of the CLI is coordinated and approved at the regional level. Each region annually updates a strategic plan that prioritizes work based on a variety of park and regional needs that include planning and construction projects or associated compliance requirements that lack cultural landscape documentation. When the inventory unit record is complete and concurrence with the findings is obtained from the superintendent and the State Historic Preservation Office, the regional CLI coordinator certifies the record and transmits it to the national CLI Coordinator for approval. Only records approved by the national CLI coordinator are included on the CLI for official reporting purposes. Relationship between the CLI and a Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) The CLI and the CLR are related efforts in the sense that both document the history, Cultural Landscapes Inventory Page 1 of 188 Jamestown Island Area Colonial National Historical Park significance, and integrity of park cultural landscapes. However, the scope of the CLI is limited by the need to achieve concurrence with the park superintendent resolve eligibility questions when a National Register nomination does not exist or the nomination inadequately addresses the eligibility of the landscape characteristics. Ideally, a park’s CLI work (which many include multiple inventory units) precedes a CLR because the baseline information in the CLI not only assists with priority setting when more than one CLR is needed it also assists with determining more accurate scopes of work. In contrast, the CLR is the primary treatment document for significant park landscapes. It, therefore, requires an additional level of research and documentation both to evaluate the historic and the existing condition of the landscape in order to recommend preservation treatment that meets the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for the treatment of historic properties. The scope of work for a CLR, when the CLI has not been done, should include production of the CLI record. Depending on its age and scope, existing CLR’s are considered the primary source for the history, statement of significance, and descriptions of contributing resources that are necessary to complete a CLI record. Inventory Unit Description: The Jamestown Island, Glasshouse Point, and Neck of Land inventory unit is approximately 1,561 acres in size and is part of the Colonial National Historical Park (NHP). The project area is located approximately eight miles southwest of Williamsburg, Virginia, and is in James City County. Twenty-two and one-half acres of the Jamestown Island are owned by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) and are designated as the Jamestown National Historic Site. The inventory unit is accessed by car via the Colonial Parkway, which connects to the island over a bridged isthmus of land. Jamestown Island, Glasshouse Point, and Neck of Land contain both natural and cultural resources. These landscapes are bounded by the James and Back rivers and support a variety of plant and wildlife ecosystems. A majority of the project area is situated on Jamestown Island, which is mostly level and covered in pine-oak forest and wetlands. Glasshouse Point and Neck of Land are part of the mainland and are connected to the island by the isthmus. The project area is also considered historic vernacular landscapes and historic sites where historical events, cultural activities, and social trends were manifested over time in the physical appearance of the landscape. The importance of these landscapes can be seen in the archeological investigations that include the fortifications and remnant glassmaking operations, as well as in extant Civil War earthworks, grave sites, and intact early Mission 66-era designs. HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Native Americans occupied Tidewater Virginia and used the resources adjacent to the James River for over 11,000 years. From the late Paleolithic Period up through the Woodland Period, American Indians utilized the Jamestown landform in a variety of ways; subsisting on regional flora and fauna and leaving behind their material culture. The numerous American Indian sites at Jamestown attest to its Cultural Landscapes Inventory Page 2 of 188 Jamestown Island Area Colonial National Historical Park significance and continued use over time. In 1607, English settlers arrived at an island in the James River that was connected by an isthmus to the mainland. Here they established the first permanent English settlement in North America. To protect the settlement, they soon constructed James Fort on the banks of the river. Under the auspices and financial backing of the Virginia Company, the settlers sought the means to wealth and prosperity for themselves and their sponsor. Lumber was their first export, but other trades were also attempted, including glassmaking, pottery, and silkworm cultivation. After years of trials and tribulations, a sweet-tasting tobacco was produced that would bolster the economy of the colony and require more labor, resulting in the importation of indentured immigrants and African and Caribbean slaves. In 1624 the Virginia Company failed, and Virginia became a Royal Colony. Over the next seventy-five years, there were periods of boom and bust in Jamestown, which also served as the capitol of Virginia for ninety-two years. Periods of active construction coincided with the boom years, resulting in the establishment of row houses, taverns, and statehouses in the New Towne portion – the area east of the original fort – of Jamestown. The Old Towne section featured the original fort, the first Church of England sanctuary in North America, a burial ground and evidence of Jamestown’s growth. Beyond the Pitch and Tar Swamp, planters built homes and worked the land. In 1699, the capital of Virginia was moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg, and the townsite was for the most part abandoned. Over the next 200 years, the only vestige of the original Jamestown that remained was the old Church Tower and the graves of those who had lived in Jamestown. During the Civil War, forts were constructed by the Confederate Army to guard the approach to Richmond via the James River. The APVA, which was founded in the spring of 1888 to protect the antiquities of Virginia, purchased 22.5 acres in 1893 (one acre was later deeded to the NPS) on Jamestown Island where the Church Tower stood and land that was believed to include the location of the original James Fort. Since their early ownership, the APVA has conducted various archeological investigations over the years to learn more about the history of site. In 1907, the 300th anniversary of Jamestown was feted and marked by the reconstruction of the church and the erection of an obelisk by the federal government. Other monuments, including statues of John Smith and Pocahontas, a granite cross, a granite obelisk, the Yeardley and Dale Houses, and a memorial shrine to Robert Hunt were added between 1907 and 1930. In 1930, Colonial National Monument (redesignated Colonial National Historical Park in 1936) was established to commemorate the beginning and ending of the British colonial period by preserving Jamestown and Yorktown and connecting them to Williamsburg via a parkway. In 1934, the NPS purchased the remaining 1,561 acres

  • Jamestown Timeline
    A Jamestown Timeline Christopher Columbus never reached the shores of the North American Continent, but European explorers learned three things from him: there was someplace to go, there was a way to get there, and most importantly, there was a way to get back. Thus began the European exploration of what they referred to as the “New World”. The following timeline details important events in the establishment of the first permanent English settlement in America – Jamestown, Virginia. Preliminary Events 1570s Spanish Jesuits set up an Indian mission on the York River in Virginia. They were killed by the Indians, and the mission was abandoned. Wahunsonacock (Chief Powhatan) inherited a chiefdom of six tribes on the upper James and middle York Rivers. By 1607, he had conquered about 25 other tribes. 1585-1590 Three separate voyages sent English settlers to Roanoke, Virginia (now North Carolina). On the last voyage, John White could not locate the “lost” settlers. 1602 Captain Bartholomew Gosnold explored New England, naming some areas near and including Martha’s Vineyard. 1603 Queen Elizabeth I died; James VI of Scotland became James I of England. Early Settlement Years 1606, April James I of England granted a charter to the Virginia Company to establish colonies in Virginia. The charter named two branches of the Company, the Virginia Company of London and the Virginia Company of Plymouth. 1606, December 20 Three ships – Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery - left London with 105 men and boys to establish a colony in Virginia between 34 and 41 degrees latitude. 1607, April 26 The three ships sighted the land of Virginia, landed at Cape Henry (present day Virginia Beach) and were attacked by Indians.

  • The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations
    The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with research distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of the Ohio State University By Sarah McBee The Ohio State University at Mansfield June 2009 Project Advisor: Professor Heather Tanner, Department of History Introduction Reevaluating Jamestown On an unexceptional day in December about four hundred years ago, three small ships embarked from an English dock and began the long and treacherous voyage across the Atlantic. The passengers on board envisioned their goals – wealth and discovery, glory and destiny. The promise of a new life hung tantalizingly ahead of them. When they arrived in their new world in May of the next year, they did not know that they were to begin the journey of a nation that would eventually become the United States of America. This summary sounds almost ridiculously idealistic – dream-driven achievers setting out to start over and build for themselves a better world. To the average American citizen, this story appears to be the classic description of the Pilgrims coming to the new world in 1620 seeking religious freedom. But what would the same average American citizen say to the fact that this deceptively idealistic story actually took place almost fourteen years earlier at Jamestown, Virginia? The unfortunate truth is that most people do not know the story of the Jamestown colony, established in 1607.1 Even when people have heard of Jamestown, often it is with a negative connotation. Common knowledge marginally recognizes Jamestown as the colony that predates the Separatists in New England by more than a dozen years, and as the first permanent English settlement in America.

    The Jamestown Colony A Teaching Unit for Kindergarten Students Prepared by: Amanda Blair Url: http://arblai.wmwikis.net Submitted as Partial Requirement for ED 405 Elementary and Middle Social Studies Curriculum and Instruction Professor Gail McEachron The College of William and Mary Spring 2009 Contents: - Historical Narrative: The Jamestown Settlement - Map/Globe Skills Lesson: A Voyage to the New World - Critical Thinking and the Arts: Portraits of Pocahontas - Civic Engagement: Pocahontas: Friend of the Settlers - Global Inquiry: Exposing the Truth in Disneyʼs Pocahontas - Assessments - Bibliography - Appendix A: National and State Standards Historical Narrative: The Jamestown Settlement Introduction The study of the Jamestown settlement is a necessity for any kindergarten through sixth grade student in the United States. This settlement was the first English stronghold in North America and planted the seeds for what would become the United States of America, a country whose culture, government, and religion stem from an English settlement and way of life. The interactions of these first settlers with the native people also set a standard for how these groups of people would be treated later on. In addition, the study of Jamestown can be implemented into just about every level of social studies. For example, Kindergarten students can study the importance of Pocahontas to the early settlers, the terms near and far as related to the start and finish of the voyage to Jamestown, and the use of inquiry to find out the truth in Disneyʼs movie on this topic. (See Appendix A) Key Ideas and Events The story of Jamestown begins with the granting of a charter by King James I to the Virginia Company of London in order to establish a settlement in North America.
