Overview

The Yorktown Victory Center documents the Revolutionary period, from disgruntled colonists to their eventual freedom from Great Britain. Next to the Yorktown Battlefield where Americans won their independence, this museum explains the repercussions of the Declaration of Independence in detail.

Discover the stories of regular men and women who were impacted by the Revolution and how a diverse people came together to create a new government. Outside, a re-created Continental Army encampment vividly depicts what life was like for American soldiers. Imagine being a soldier yourself as you tour the farm, house, kitchen, tobacco barn, gardens and crop fields. Check the center’s schedule for daily demonstrations.
