About

This immersive 17th-century living history event that transports visitors back into the world of early colonial Virginia. This family-friendly program brings history to life through interactive experiences and demonstrations that highlight the culture, daily life, and complex history of the 1600s in the Isle of Wight region. St Luke’s Church and the museum will host 17th century music performances as well as lectures by renowned archaeologists and historians. During the event, historical interpreters and reenactors portray craftspeople, settlers and other figures from the century, demonstrating traditional skills like dancing, cooking over open hearths, ironworking, brickmaking, and other trades that shaped early Virginia life. Visitors stroll the historic grounds, interact with interpreters, and gain hands-on insight into how people lived, worked, and worshiped more than 300 years ago.
