We drvoe from DC.  The "real" one is in a remote location, more than a
mile from the main road, and I would be surprised if there were any
public transportation in the area.  But you might find tour companies
like Grey Line that go there.

The "real" one is a public park on the banks of the river.  Most of it
was just building foundations, with one or two buildings that still
survive.  There was an archeological dig in progress.  And they had a
glass blowing demonstration for the tourists.

The "faux" one looks like a wooden fort from the outside.  While it is
on the main road, I would doubt that you could find public
transportation there all the way from DC.  We went in, but did not go
beyond the gift shop.   My guess is that it is a Disny-like re-
creation, with buildings and actors in costume talking funny (kinda
like a Renaissance Faire).


Thank you for your responses. Is the "faux" one, you mean "Jamestown 
Settlement", a privete re-enactment business, correct? The other "real" one, 
"Historic Jamestown" is actually a simple government park not for tourist, 
correct? I guess we have a rent a car to drive there? Thank you.
