We went to Jamestown for the weekend. Lots of history there. There were replicas of everything. They had glass blowers, blacksmiths, indian cooks, ships, costumes, crafts, etc.
This was at a replica of one of the Jamestown forts. The cavalry...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Captain's quarters of the ship below. 
Replicas of the ships that sailed to America in the 1600s. We got to tour each of them. 
Inidan huts. Even inside these replicas no details were spared. They had animal furs, tools, etc.
The workers, dressed as indians, cooked authentic indian food as they explained a day in the life of an indian family. They also showed how the fur was taken off animal skins to make clothes, how pouches were weaved, and how tools were made and used. The kids enjoyed all of this, but got a bit tired after a while (especially given the heat and the walking).
