[quote=Anonymous]At Jamestown there is the Jamestown Settlement--which is a commercially run place with lots of replica stuff. My kids went as part of the 4th grade Virginia trip and loved it. It's $20 for adults and $10 for kids. 
There is also the actual site of Jamestown which is owned by the National Park Service and has some vestiges of where the actual buildings where and usually has some archeological excavation going on. It's $15pp unless you have some variety of NP Pass.

Yorktown has the American Revolution museum which also has a replica army encampment. Also popular with my kids. Same prices as the Jamestown Experience, or you can buy a combo ticket that saves a bit.
There is also the Yorktown Battlefield, also owned by the Park Service. It's like a lot of other battlefields, lots of big open fields and occasional remains of mounds or markings of where important things happened. My kids were in a Hamilton phase, so they were interested in seeing where he was active, but otherwise were pretty bored by it.

You can also buy tickets that combine all those sites with Williamsburg. I'd say each site is probably a couple hours of time to visit (depending on interest level.)[/quote]
