"Werowocomoco: Seat of Power" Special Exhibition at Jamestown Settlement(9:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
Jamestown Settlement
Werowocomoco was the principal residence of Powhatan, the paramount chief of 30-some Indian tribes in Virginia’s coastal region at the time English colonists arrived in 1607.

The six-month exhibition - the first time artifacts from the Werowocomoco site are shown in a museum setting - will examine the relationship between material culture and political authority in the region from prehistoric times through the early years of the 17th century and what the site means to descendent Virginia Indian communities today.
