Jamestown is known for its history. If you visit the Greensboro History Museum or the High Point Museum, you will quickly find that the Mendenhall Family played a critical role in much of the early Guilford County history, including the location of the county seat, which is modern-day Greensboro. Exploring Jamestown in conjunction with checking out the other two aforementioned museums will help to piece together some of the great histories of Guilford County.
