Swift Creek Mill Theatre
Thirteen years before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, the Jamestown colony was established in Virginia. And Captain John Smith’s 2 ½ years in Virginia were not all spent contending with Pocahontas and Powhatan. He relentlessly explored the “faire bay” – the vast Chesapeake – creating uncannily accurate maps to guide future colonization. Follow him on his famed water trail in story and song.
