A museum of the American Revolution, the Yorktown Victory Center chronicles America's struggle for independence from the beginnings of colonial unrest to the formation of the new nation. Thematic exhibits and living-history programs relate the experiences of ordinary men and women who lived during the Revolutionary era.

The gift shop complements and extends the museum experience with a selection of books, prints, 18th-century reproductions, educational toys and games, jewelry and mementos. In time for the holidays, the museum store offers a variety of unique gift ideas.
