Adjacent to this is the renowned Eisenhower National Historic Site, also an eye catcher that draws people to this small Pennsylvania town.

However, you will feel the brimming past in the street actors and costumed interpreters that you meet along the way. Jamestown and Yorktown are neighboring towns that are home to historic figures such as George Washington, John Smith, Patrick Henry, and Pocahontas.
