On day eight we visited First Landing State Park, Wright Brothers Memorial, and the Historic Jamestown Fort (photo). First landing wasn't that interesting; just a walk in the woods (cypress swamp) with lots of mosquitos eating you alive, and sucky directions from both signs and people. It was however the first place where members of the Virginia Company landed. The Wright Brothers Memorial was more entertaining though. We saw the memorial, the museum/visitor center, and the airfield and distance markers for their first four flight attempts. At Jamestown we saw remains and replicas of old of buildings, some statues, and a museum where they showed artifacts that had been discovered at the site. Life was pretty rough back then.
