Runs between Jamestown and Yorktown, passing directly through Williamsburg along the way. Jamestown and Yorktown each feature both a national park site containing the actual historical site, and a privately run living history museum located near the historical site designed to amplify understanding. Visitors should be wary of the signs, which are designed to draw attention to the more expensive living history museums rather than the true historic sites. National Park admission of $10 (adults) will get you to the actual sites of both the original Jamestown Fort (signsposted as Historic Jamestown) and the Yorktown Battlefield (last entrance 16:30). Free guided tours directed by park rangers run at posted intervals, typically last about 45m, and are the best way to truly understand the historical context of the sites. During summer, Jamestown is an active archeological dig site, with visitors allowed within feet of the edge of the excavations, and opportunity to talk with workers and ask questions about the dig. By contrast, the Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown Victory Center are large, privately run living history museums which feature actors in period dress illustrating life in Colonial times. Like the national park sites, they offer a single entry fee providing admission to both locations. ($20 adults).
