Jamestown Fort: Rediscovered explored the history behind the first permanent English settlement in the New World and the archaeological search and discovery of its remains. The exhibit examined the reasons for the settlement's location, the obstacles the explorers encountered, and the very people who overcame these challenges. In addition, the exhibit followed the twentieth century adventurers--the archaeologists--who "rediscovered" the soil-stained footprint of the 1607 Fort.
