Henricus Historical Park ⎮ Chester, Va
Travel back in time to the Citie of Henricus, the second successful English settlement in the New World. Explore a moment in time where 300 settlers, led by Sir Thomas Dale, departed the unhealthy environment of Jamestown with the hope of establishing a strong English Colony and with the intention of becoming the principal seat of the Virginia Company of London.
Learn how these brave settlers traveled 80 miles up the James River to build the city named for the eldest son of King James I, Prince Henry. Advancing into unknown wilderness, these explorers were under the constant threat of attack by Indians and Spaniards who had the capability to destroy the young struggling English colony.
Henricus Historical Park re-creates this historical journey that took place four hundred years ago highlighting a significant time where property ownership by the common man was a unique concept. This innovative idea, combined with the development of the first English hospital, the chartering of the first college in the New World, the English home of Pocahontas, the establishment of tobacco as the first cash crop in the New World, established the Citie of Henricus.
Discover the contributions made to the successful permanent colonization of North America and the eventual establishment of the United States of America. Visit Henricus Historical Park and relive America’s beginnings. Historical interpretation and reenactments pay tribute to Virginia’s Indians and the English settlers who carved a nation out of what was then Virginia’s western frontier.

Transcend Paranormal: Henricus Historical Park Video Anomaly
Transcend Paranormal
Henricus Historical Park, Chester VA
February 26/27, 2011
We caught this on the 2nd floor of the Ordinary at Henricus Historical Park. Two of our investigators are talking in the room (to the side of the camera, not visible on screen). An unexplainable video anomaly occurs in the top left corner of the video.
We have attempted to re-create this by quickly moving a hand, a piece of cloth, and hair across the corner of the camera view with no luck in replicating this anomaly.
What do you think?

Henricus Publick Days 2013 Video
This is a video of the 2013 Henricus Publick Days on Farrar's Island. In 1611, Farrar's Island was the site of the Citie of Henrico, one of Virginia's first four primary settlement areas under the Virginia Company of London. Later, it was part of a 2,000-acre land patent issued posthumously to William Farrar in 1637. Farrar, who arrived in Virginia from London in 1618 aboard the Neptune, invested in the company under its third charter. In 1626, Governor Sir George Yeardley appointed Farrar to the governor's Council, a position he occupied until 1632. He also served as a justice for two counties. Farrar family members resided on the island until they sold it to Thomas Randolph on 26 Jan. 1727.
