Description

Our Experience Design team is seeking support in several project areas related to our outdoor living history buildings and material culture used to teach 17th century history to school groups and the visiting public at our museum- Jamestown Settlement. All of these projects have varying degrees difficulty ranging from painting and  running the power washer to replacing structural supports in buildings. We can adjust for the skill set of the group, break up into smaller groups, and will provide tools, materials and PPE. 

Support for these projects ensures the integrity of the material culture we use to bring history to life.  It also allows us to be good stewards of funds received through the proper care and preservation, we can expand the lifespan of the these buildings and objects for future generations of students and museum guests. 


·      Cannon restoration project to include power washing and painting cannon carriages

·       Waddle Fencing to include removal of old waddle and installation of new waddle

·       We have several posts that need to be replaced in the fort buildings
