Town Historians?

[licatafamily]

As a part of a course I am taking, I'm looking for someone who is a bit of a buff on Jamestown history and/or local Native American history to talk to.  This course is on graphic memoir and illustrated non-fiction. I am not sure where my interview(s) with local contacts will take me (perhaps inclusion in my project or not depending on what I learn).  Right now, my proposed theme is my family's exploration of and learning about our cool new home-town. I am particularly interested in meeting folks who know some of the mining history and pre-mining history of the area. 

Alternatively, if you can point me to any published materials, documented history, or historical society resources, I would take that too!

Thanks!
