Henricus Historical Park Celebrates Successful 400th Commemoration

Henricus Historical Park would like to thank the event participants and visitors for making Publick Days and the site’s 400th commemoration a success. The weekend kicked-off with the arrival of Godspeed from Jamestown Settlement with remarks by representatives of the Virginia House of Delegates; Chesterfield and Henrico Counties; the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation; Daughters of the American Revolution and the Chickahominy Indian Tribe. Despite rainy conditions, nearly 4,000 people enjoyed the weekend’s family-friendly activities ranging from musket and cannon firing demonstrations to Virginia Indian songs and dance. Through today, school groups will participate in guided tours of the Godspeed and colonial and Virginia Indian settlements. Henricus would like to thank the more than 100 living history interpreters, dozens of volunteers, sponsors and donors, Board of Trustees and dedicated staff for creating a memorable, educational and entertaining event.
