SUMMARY:The Archaeology of Bacon’s Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Bacon’s Rebellion began as a campaign of violence against the region’s Indigenous people carried out in defiance of the royal governor. The elite instigators of the insurrection garnered broad support by stoking prejudice and exploiting the desperation of struggling and marginalized groups\, including many in the colony’s growing\, and increasingly oppressed African population who saw in the uprising a chance for self-liberation. \nThree hundred and fifty years later\, archaeological traces of these events are still evident at sites across Virginia. In the 1980s\, archaeological excavations revealed evidence of the damage and subsequent clean-up efforts in a large pit hastily concealed beneath the elaborate garden completed at the end of the 17th century. \nAs part of our Reconsidering Bacon’s Rebellion at 350 series\, Nicholas M. Luccketti who supervised the excavations will describe this remarkable discovery and discuss how he made the connection to Bacon’s Rebellion. Then\, Rebekah Planto\, PhD.\, will take a closer look at some of the artifacts recovered from the pit\, considering what such ordinary finds from an extraordinary context can reveal about everyday life and labor during this pivotal period. \nThis event will take place on August 19th at Bacon’s Castle at 6PM\, tickets are $15 each. \nIn 2026\, “The Archaeology of Bacon’s Rebellion” is presented as part of “Reconsidering Bacon’s Rebellion at 350 Years\,” a joint program series by Preservation Virginia\, Jamestown Rediscovery\, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation\, William & Mary Office of Strategic Cultural Partnerships\, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe\, the Rappahannock Indian Tribe\, and the Nottoway Indian Tribe with support from Virginia Humanities. \nPurchase Tickets Here

SUMMARY:The Burning of Jamestown
DESCRIPTION:Exactly one-hundred years before the Declaration of Independence\, a group of rebels marched on Virginia’s capital and burned it to the ground in an attempt to depose a government they saw as elitist. Though the rebellion would fizzle after the death of its charismatic leader\, Nathaniel Bacon\, its impact would be felt in the courts\, the further entrenchment of slave labor in Virginia\, and escalating tensions between white frontiersmen and Indigenous people\, rippling far beyond the 17th century to the American Revolution and today. “The Burning of Jamestown” is an immersive walking tour\, led by merchant and planter Thomas Mathew\, on whose land the rebellion was first sparked. This event will take place on Saturday\, September 19th at 6PM\, it is hosted at Historic Jamestowne (1368 Colonial Pkwy Jamestown\, VA 23081). This event is included with a general admission ticket to Historic Jamestowne. \nIn 2026\, “The Burning of Jamestown” is presented as part of “Reconsidering Bacon’s Rebellion at 350 Years\,” a joint program series by Preservation Virginia\, Jamestown Rediscovery\, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation\, William & Mary Office of Strategic Cultural Partnerships\, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe\, the Rappahannock Indian Tribe\, and the Nottoway Indian Tribe with support from Virginia Humanities. \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Constitution Day Focus Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Scotchtown staff at 11am on Sunday\, September 20th for a special focus tour in honor of constitution day! When the Constitution was sent to the states for approval in 1788\, it faced heavy scrutiny; many detractors argued it did not adequately protect individual liberties\, robbed the states of their sovereignty\, and provided the newly empowered national government with the ability to curtail the institution of slavery. Learn about Patrick Henry’s role as a leading anti-Federalist at Virginia’s Ratification Convention in the summer of 1788. \nRegular admission costs apply.

SUMMARY:Torchbearer: A Story of Bacon’s Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Torchbearer: A Story of Bacon’s Rebellion is a new original musical based on the events that swept Virginia from 1675 to 1677. In a colony haunted by the shadow of regicide\, old grudges and new tensions build to a conflagration that threatens everyone and everything it touches. Torchbearer examines the motives and fates of a broad cast of characters—rebel and royalist\, rich and poor\, male and female\, White\, Black\, and Indigenous–each of whom is caught up by the rebellion in a different way. The thrilling drama is adapted from surviving first-person accounts and complemented by a compelling soundtrack that sweeps the audience through the terror and heartbreak of Virginia’s first civil war. \nThis event takes place at the Robins Foundation Theater\, Jamestown Settlement\, 2110 Jamestown Rd\, Williamsburg\, VA 23185. On September 25th and 26th\, showings begin at 7pm\, doors open at 6:30pm. On September 27th the showing begins at 3pm and the doors open at 2:30pm. \nPurchase Tickets Here
