Historic Jamestown is one of my favorite places. I just love going to this old church, looking at the reminisces of old homes, and feeling the history of our Nation.Jamestown was the first American Settlement. This is where you can find some of the oldest burials. My Dad had said the oldest grave he was privileged to see was in the 1700's, but while at Jamestown he was witness to many graves dated

Well, here is The Sports Flow's first real (yes real) sports related interview, with Jamestown Sun Sports Writer Kalen Ost. Mr. Ost also has a blog of his own, which can found here: Ost's Posts.Q1.

The initial 1-acre, triangular fort was built 13 years before the Mayflower landed in Massachusetts, bearing its solemn flock of families in search of religious freedom. "Jamestown is much more typical of American society in the intervening 400 years, as opposed t
