Citie of Henricus
1811
Free enterprise had its beginnings in the new world on this site in 1611. Sir Thomas Dale, following orders from the London Company to "find a more healthful place," moved westward from Jamestown and built a town out of the wilderness.
The "Citie of Henricus" is a living museum for the world to learn of the hardships sustained and the opportunities found in the establishment of the free new world. The Henricus Foundation thanks those who made Henricus Historical Park a reality. |
