1600s matchlock musket fired, Jamestown Settlement, English Fort, Virginia, USA

A costumed historical interpreter fires a 1600s matchlock musket at Jamestown Settlement, Virginia, USA. Jamestown Settlement, operated by the state's Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, chronicles 1600s Virginia and the convergence of Powhatan Indian, European, and west central African cultures. Created as part of the 350th anniversary celebration in 1957 as "Jamestown Festival Park," Jamestown Settlement is adjacent to the complementary "Historic Jamestowne" museum (which is on Jamestown Island, is the actual historic and archaeological site where the first settlers lived, and is run by the National Park Service and Preservation Virginia).
