This is where the British surrendered to American and French forces at the Battle of Yorktown. It is amazing to stand on the same ground that many soldiers lost their lives to gain our independence.
Come see where America won her Independence! One of the most important parts of America's history is in my backyard. An absolute beautiful drive at an any time of year, but especially gorgeous in Spring and Fall.
