Colonial National Historical Park - Yorktown Battlefield
A visit to the Yorktown Battlefield at Colonial National Historical Park in Virginia ... where the decisive victory by a combined force of 17,000 American Continental Army troops led by General George Washington and French Army troops led by the Comte de Rochambeau over 9,000 British Army troops commanded by British Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis took place in the fall of 1781. It was the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War, as the surrender by Cornwallis, and the capture of both him and his British troops on October 19, 1781, prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict, resulting in the Treaty of Paris of 1783.

Yorktown Battlefield | Colonial National Historical Park, Virginia USA ????????
Recorded on December 7th, 2019
Yorktown was established by Virginia's colonial government in 1691 to regulate trade and to collect taxes on both imports and exports for Great Britain. By the early 1700s, Yorktown had emerged as a major Virginia port and economic center. A well-developed waterfront boasted wharves, docks, storehouses and businesses. On the bluff above, stately homes lined Main Street, with taverns and other shops scattered throughout the town. Yorktown had 250 to 300 buildings and a population of almost 2,000 people at the height of its success around 1750. The American Revolution had entered its seventh year when, in 1781, British general Lord Charles Cornwallis brought his army to Yorktown to establish a naval base. In the siege by American and French forces that followed, much of the town was destroyed. By the end of the Revolution, less than 70 buildings remained in Yorktown and the 1790 census recorded only 661 people in town. Yorktown never regained its economic prominence. A fire in 1814 destroyed the waterfront district as well as some homes and the courthouse on Main Street. Additional destruction came during the Civil War Siege of 1862 and the occupation by Union troops that followed.
Today, there are still some tangible reminders of Yorktown's historic past that have survived, giving much of the town a colonial atmosphere. During your visit to Yorktown, stop at the Nelson House on Main Street, the home of Thomas Nelson, Jr., a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and commander of the Virginia Militia during the Siege of Yorktown. For hours of operation, see Yorktown Programs and Activities.
As you stroll the streets, you have the opportunity to imagine Yorktown as it once was--a thriving tobacco port--that witnessed the last battle of the American Revolution.

Exploring Yorktown Battlefield (Yorktown, VA)
A fledgling army took on the most powerful military in the world at the time, but that army found victory here. The allied French and American forces, led by General George Washington, met the British army under the command of Lord Charles Cornwallis on these grounds in October, 1781.
What a beautiful history Yorktown (and the Historic Triangle as a whole) has to tell about Virginia's part in the foundations of the United States of America. I wish I could convey that history better. This is a highly recommend park for the history buff visit if you're in the area. The Yorktown Beach and Riverwalk are not to be missed either.

Yorktown Virginia Battlefield Beach Dash Cam Tour - Satellite Dish Technician Mark Erney
A 10 minute dash cam tour around the battlefields of Yorktown, Virginia, with a drive down the beach water front strip of the York River at the finish of the video. Recorded and narrated by satellite dish technician Mark Erney November 24, 2012. This is my first dash cam tour test video using Magix Movie Maker Pro. The videos should get better as I learn the software and my camera settings get better. Wow! I never understood how important quality settings are when using your camera until recently. I may actually do a few tutorial videos on what I'm learning. I figured it's only fair to share some of the beauty near my home here in Virginia. If you enjoyed the video please give me a thumbs up. There will be many more coming from around the United States and from my world travels. Thank you for watching and please visit my web site if you get a chance. I guarantee you will find something interesting or FUN there.
