Werowocomoco: Seat of Power - Special Exhibition
(9:00 AM)
Jamestown Settlement
Werowocomoco was the principal residence of Powhatan, the paramount chief of 30-some Indian tribes in Virginias coastal region at the time English colonists arrived in 1607. Recent archaeological excavations have revealed not only that the York River site was a uniquely important place during Powhatans time, but also that its role as a political and social center predated the Powhatan chiefdom. See website for additional information.

A la rentree party!
(5:00 PM - 8:00 PM)
New Town Art Gallery
In August, major sectors in France slow down or close up shop completely, school is out,
of course, the government is more or less AWOL, and many restaurants and other
businesses are closed as well. Therefore, many French people are on vacation for all or
part of the month, which means that la rentree, in September is more than just student
and teachers going back to school; Its also everyone else returning home and going back
to work, returning to normal. A la rentree! is a valediction, similar to bonnes vacances! (have a nice vacation), a way of saying good-bye and an acknowledgement that youll see the other person when you both re-enter the real world after your prolonged vacation. There will be wine and cheese at this gallery event. RSVP to 757-989-0716. Visit the website for more information on New Town Art Gallery.
