At Jamestown Settlement, a film and interpretive presentations compare and contrast 17th-century English Christmas customs with how the season may have been observed in the colony's early years. Daily tours and programs in the outdoor living-history areas allow visitors to learn about the English colonists' first Christmas at sea in 1606, Indian hospitality shown to Capt. John Smith's trading party during a winter storm, and about the Lord of Misrule, "Grand captain of all mischief." At the Yorktown Victory Center, hear accounts of Christmas and winter in Revolutionary War military encampments and glimpse holiday preparations on a 1780s Virginia farm. A combination ticket is $19.25 for adults and $9.25 for youth (6-12). Separate museum admission available.
