Vintage Jamestown Festival Official Program, published for the 350th Anniversary Celebration in 1957 by the Virginia 350th Anniversary Commission. The illustrated cover depicts the three ships — Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery — that carried the first English settlers to Virginia. Inside, the program features historical background, event details, acknowledgments, and contributions from Colonial Williamsburg, the Library of Congress, and numerous cultural and academic institutions.

This program served as a souvenir for attendees of the large-scale 1957 festival commemorating the founding of Jamestown in 1607. It provides a fascinating snapshot of mid-20th century historical pageantry, Cold War-era heritage promotion, and Virginia’s efforts to highlight its colonial legacy.

Condition: Complete with all pages intact. Light age wear, mild foxing and discoloration on covers (see photos), consistent with vintage paper ephemera. Still very well-preserved and richly illustrated.
