Celebrate America's 400th Anniversary with ArcaMax

In 1607, the settlers first landed in Jamestown, VA. Four centuries later, ArcaMax Publishing is making history more fun with the "America's 400th Birthday" feature.

The online feature ( http://www.arcamax.com/travel/jamestown_virginia ) from ArcaMax — a leading family-friendly content provider — includes historical literature, vacation planning tips and interactive games. It is part of the company's travel and history channels.

ArcaMax Publishing is located in Newport News, VA, which is only 15 miles from Jamestown. Since 1999, ArcaMax has been a leading provider of email publications and online features.

"It's not often a national event with millions of expected visitors happens in your backyard, but this is one of those rare occasions," said ArcaMax CEO Scott Wolf.

On the ArcaMax site, you'll find photos, interviews, and hotel and restaurant reviews that can't be found on any other site. The Jamestown feature will continue to grow over the course of the year, added Wolf. "We have more ideas to help the section grow, and more events will be taking place this summer and into the holiday season."

The travel and history channels are among several other areas of the site involved with the special feature. Interactive games and quizzes — some of the most popular pages at ArcaMax — are available to test readers' knowledge of colonial Virginia. Parents and grandparents, as well as history buffs, will enjoy the variety of historical information and trivia within the feature.

The ArcaMax Book Club, an interactive community with more than 600 free books available by e-mail, is also part of the fun. Interested readers can subscribe to a chapter a day of historical literature such as biographies of John Smith and Pocahontas and a children's history of Jamestown.

Besides this special feature, ArcaMax offers free ezines (newsletters by e-mail) such parenting, pet advice, daily vocabulary and trivia, and more. For more information or to subscribe, visit http://www.arcamax.com/cgi-bin/reg .
