2007 KG Historical Society Metal Christmas Ornament – Jamestown
This commemorative metal ornament honors Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America, founded in 1607 on the banks of the James River in Virginia. Jamestown holds a foundational place in American history as the birthplace of representative government in the New World and the starting point for centuries of cultural and historical change.
 
Chosen as the 2007 entry in the King George Historical Society’s collectible ornament series, this piece was created in recognition of Jamestown’s 400th anniversary. It celebrates the enduring legacy of the settlers, the complex history of early colonial life, and Virginia’s pivotal role in shaping the nation.
 
A meaningful keepsake for history enthusiasts, educators, and collectors, the Jamestown ornament reflects both pride in Virginia’s heritage and a connection to the broader American story.
