Powhatan Indian Village

Explore the Powhatan way of life in a re-created village featuring reed-covered houses, a garden and a ceremonial dance circle. Learn about the world of Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan, powerful leader of 30-some Algonquian-speaking tribes in coastal Virginia. Historical interpreters demonstrate how Powhatans grew and prepared food, processed animal hides, made tools and pottery, and wove natural fibers into cordage.

Try your hand at grinding corn, gardening or playing a game of corncob darts.
