American Revolution Museum at Yorktown

Hamilton. That’s all we knew about Yorktown. And George Washington was about all we knew about Revolutionary battles... Other than Hamilton, of course ;) . . This museum was low on my list. It’s not one you hear talked about. But it really is a great museum, and after 2 hours inside, we pretty much skipped the last half to go outside. . . American Revolution Museum at Yorktown is full of short videos, recreated scenes, uniforms, weapons, and the usual plaques to read. It’s a lovely building and has lots of extra details inside. The two longer videos were very creatively done, and I had to cut the boys off at watching the Yorktown video twice. They liked the special effect smoke. Typical. . . So put this one on your list. It’s a keeper. Day 7 history trip.
