for a visit of one of our many urban stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs). Participants will learn how VCAP, just a small pilot program a few years ago, has grown to be the latest in-demand effort of the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (VASWCD) and participating districts. Tour #4: Historic Area This tour will feature a visit to Historic Jamestowne, where the first successful English colony in North America began in 1607. Enjoy one of the most treasured and historic attractions along the beautiful James River. New facility, programs, and interpretive experiences convey the history of America's Birthplace on the exact land where it occurred. Lunch will be provided on site by the Dale House Cafe. Following a guided tour, you will be able to visit the 1620 "New Towne"- an expansion of the Virginia's first capital, view ongoing archaeological investigations, the National Park Service visitor center and the archaeology museum. The site is jointly administered by National Park Service (1500 acres) and Preservation Virginia (22.5 acres). Before heading back to the Williamsburg Lodge, we will make a 30-minute stop at the NPS Glasshouse where interpreters use the same techniques and tools employed by glassblowers of 1608 to produce items for sale. English America's first industry was glassblowing.

We can’t end the meeting without going out in style! Join us a final time in the Virginia Ballroom for food, beverages and dancing to the Shanty Grass Band. We believe that music and other social activities have been embedded within the culture of every group of people since the beginning of time. So, for Watermen, it is impossible to tell the story of their history, culture or their daily lives without telling part of that story through music, dance, storytelling, and art. As their name implies – Shanty Grass - they perform Sea Shanties and Bluegrass, as well as Traditional and Modern Folk Music, Country and Light Rock.
