10:00 a.m. on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month April through November, with the exceptions of April 5 and August 3.

Join a small inside and up-close group tour of the lost 1607 James Fort led by Dr. William Kelso, Director of the Jamestown Rediscovery Archaeological Project since 1994. Your reserved place in this special group allows you to come under the ropes to walk the surface of the ground once trod by Captain John Smith, Pocahontas and Queen Elizabeth II -- now the very soil being dug by Historic Jamestowne archaeologists. You share the once in a lifetime "moment of discovery" as a part of America's birthplace sees the first light of day in over 400 years.

The one hour "In the Trenches" tour is limited to 30 people for a fee of $30 per person, ages 10 and above. Admission to Historic Jamestowne is included in the ticket price.

Tour members must purchase a tour ticket on-line in advance or in the museum store by 9:30 a.m. on the day of the tour. Tour members must dress according to weather predictions.

Reservations and tickets are valid only on the date specified. There will be no refunds unless the tour is cancelled by Preservation Virginia.
