Yorktown Battlefield

Yorktown Battlefield was the site of one of the most important battles in the Revolutionary War. In 1781, the British army surrendered to the American army and its allies on this legendary field, marking the last key fight of the war and the beginning of independence. Today, the area is peaceful and beautiful, creating plenty of opportunities to learn about history and put yourself in the shoes of the colonists and soldiers. Plan a full day to explore the site; you'll need it to fully take in the allied siege lines, British defenses, and the reality of war in the infancy of the United States. Yorktown Battlefield is part of the larger Colonial National Historical Park.
