"Werowocomoco: Seat of Power"
Special Exhibition Through November 15 Werowocomoco was the principal residence of Powhatan, the paramount chief of 30-some Indian tribes in Virginias coastal region at the time English colonists arrived in 1607. Recent archaeological excavations have revealed not only that the York River site was a uniquely important place during Powhatan's time, but also that its role as a political and social center predated the Powhatan chiefdom.
