There is always something going on here and it is free to the public. On the waterfront. Lots of trails and great place for families to go and for the kids to learn at.

I took a group of Special Needs students here and loved that the guides were able to gear their descriptions and activities to a level they could understand. Being able to access the buildings and even get a lesson on how the soldiers would drill was a lot of fun.

Business description (2)

Henricus Historical Park re-creates everyday 17th-century life in the second successful English settlement and in the Virginia Indian site of Arrohateck.

This 32-acre park is located in the old "Citie of Henricus" that was founded in 1611. Guides in period dress lead visitors through several areas of the historical site where guests can learn about different aspects of 17th century life. Henricus was the site of the first hospital in the country, and for a short time Pocahontas lived here.©10Best.com
