The Ed Shed is a wonderful tool to help educate kids that archeology is a great measuring device to look back into time.
My ancestor Thomas Farley and his wife Jane Mollineux (Lady Jane Sefton) arrived at Jamestown Colony aboard the Ship "Anne" in 1623. My Rice ancestors also arrived by 1639. I'm wondering if you know anyone who can assist me finding more information about these two families. I'd definitely love to find out what area they would have lived in there in Jamestown. This is fascinating.
I work at Jamestown. Remember that “Jamestown” is used as a catch all for 17th century Virginia and not just the capital.
Your ancestor certainly landed at Jamestown as all ships were required to…but I looked up Thomas Farley and he lived at a settlement called “Archers Hope”. That’s just east of Jamestown island in the same county (James City). He lived mostlikely in or near what is now largely the gated community called Kingsmill.
Excellent initiative - hands-on learning like this is invaluable for promoting an interest in archaeology and Jamestown. Natalie and her staff will certainly make this enjoyable and successful.!
I love the idea of the Ed Shed. Any possibility it could be re-opened during the homeschool days? We plan to come during that time and would love for my kids to be able to experience this!
Ed shed...very awesome...but I didn't hear if it cost anything?
It’s included with park admission.
It's interesting that they're burying the dead inside the inside the wire so to speak inside the perimeter of the fort
Wow! This is very cool! What a great idea. I hope it goes well for you all. It seems like you gathered a fantastic team to get the Ed Shed up and running. Mary
Thank you
My relative Soule was born in England about 1595, and as a young man became a teacher to Edward Winslow's children. Soule came with Winslow to America on the Mayflower in 1620 probably as an indentured servant. He was one of forty-one signers of the Mayflower Compact in November 1620.
