American Revolution Museum at Yorktown

The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown tells the story of the nation's founding, from the twilight of the colonial period to the dawn of the Constitution and beyond. Exciting indoor galleries feature period artifacts, immersive environments and films. Outdoors, visit a re-created Continental Army encampment to learn about the life of a soldier and take in daily demonstrations on medical treatment, camp life and cooking, and see firings of musket and artillery. Explore a Revolution-era farm, based on a real-life 18th-century family, to help with chores in the house, kitchen, tobacco barn, gardens and crops.

Open year-round 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (9 a.m.- 6 p.m. through August 15); closed on Christmas and New Year's days.  Save on a value-priced combination ticket with Jamestown Settlement: $27.50 adults, $13.50 ages 6-12. Free parking.
