Loved watching the amazing art of glass blowing. We watched a bottle be formed and loved every minute. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take the time to watch, but I am SO glad I did! Extremely informati…Full review by Lann1955

Historic Jamestown is part of Colonial National Park, part of the National Park Service, so an admission fee or a National Park Pass is required. A mile or so away is the Jamestown Settlement, which includes a recreation of a Powhatan Indian Village, the three ships that brought the first settlers here and a reproduction fort they built when they arrived. This is a separate museum with its own admission fee.

There’s no individual website for this attraction because Jamestown Glasshouse is part of the Colonial National Historical Park, a National Park Service unit comprised of Historic Jamestowne and Yorktown Battlefield. Sorry, but TripAdvisor will not let me post the actual website, but you can google National Park Service and get the website that way. As is the case with many National Park Service (NPS) sites, the hours are usually 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The Glasshouse hours are 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The whole national park site is closed on Thanksgiving Day, December 25th and January 1st. There is a fee that will get you into all parts of Jamestown and Yorktown; however, the Glasshouse is off the main driveway up to the Historic Jamestowne Visitor Center and is separate from the main part of the grounds. There should be no fee. F.Y.I. - The NPS has a website for sales of goods, including the Jamestown glass. It’s eParks. And, they are having a 20% off sale right now. I’ve bought things from that website before, and it’s reliable. No need to lug the item around. For the purist, the original color of the Jamestown glass was green. Additionally, attractions in the Historic Triangle of Williamsburg/Jamestown/Yorktown can be confusing because there are NPS sites and Commonwealth of Virginia sites with similar names. Historic Jamestowne is NPS; Jamestown Settlement next door is Commonwealth. Ditto in Yorktown. And, some people confuse Colonial National Historical Park with Colonial Williamsburg. Also, if you use a GPS, it may not recognize Jamestown as a separate entity. That’s because it is really Jamestown Island which is a part of Williamsburg. I hope that you enjoy your trip as much as I enjoyed mine in April!
