Powhatan's Chimney, Historical monument in Wicomico, Virginia, United States
The brick chimney structure stands near Timberneck Creek, marking what was once thought to be the location of Chief Powhatan's residence.
The original chimney collapsed in 1888, leading to its reconstruction in the 1930s by Preservation Virginia as a memorial to early colonial interactions.
The site represents the early relationships between English settlers and Native American tribes during the establishment of the Jamestown Settlement.
Visitors can access the monument through local roads in Gloucester County, with informational markers providing historical context about the structure.
Archaeological research in 2003 revealed that the actual Werowocomoco settlement was located elsewhere, changing the interpretation of this historical marker.
