The James River has changed a lot since Captain John Smith traveled it 400 years ago.
The James River Association and local fishing guide Mike Ostrander are offering boat trips to show you and tell you what Smith saw.
Trips are scheduled Sunday (July 26) and on Aug, 2, 15, 16, 29 and 30.
For information, call Ostrander at (804) 938-2350.
