Description
This authentic 1960s color photograph, captured in 1960, documents the modern architectural elements of Jamestown Festival Park (now Jamestown Settlement) in Virginia. The archival image features the Old World Pavilion area, which served as the formal entrance and orientation hub for the park during its early years. In the foreground, a long, brick-bordered reflecting pool is active with a series of vertical water fountains. To the left, guests are seated at picnic tables under vibrant yellow and light blue umbrellas, while the mid-century modern pavilion building, characterized by its large glass panes and wooden vertical slats, stands in the background against a dense treeline. Opened in 1957 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Jamestown colony, this area of the park provided a contemporary contrast to the historical reconstructions of the ships and fort. While the park is still standing and has undergone extensive renovations to become a premier living history museum, much of this original 1950s infrastructure was replaced or remodeled during the major expansions of the 1990s and early 2000s. This factual record preserves the sleek, optimistic design of the park’s original visitor facilities. All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects – or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
