The road, which is a part of Colonial National Historical Park, has a three mile short route, and a five mile long route.[1] It shows the natural environment that was encountered by the original Jamestown settlers, with large oil paintings depicting activities of the early colonists, including tobacco growing, farming, pottery, and lumbering.[2]
