Powhatan's Village

Across the York River is the site of Werowocomoco, an Indian Village that was Powhatan's "chiefest habitation" in the early period of the Jamestown settlement. Captain John Smith was a prisoner there late in 1607.

Marker can be reached from Colonial National Historic Parkway 0.7 miles west of Mason Row, on the right when traveling west.
