The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown is open with adjustments to operations and access to outdoor living-history areas and gallery exhibits so visitors can enjoy the museum experience while following new safety protocols and social-distancing procedures. Learn more at historyisfun.org/welcome.

If you can't visit the museum in person, virtual museum experiences and engaging and educational online resources available for you to enjoy with your family at home. Visit historyisfun.org/at-home. 

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. Catch "Liberty Fever," introductory film and tour galleries with period artifacts, immersive environments, exhibits and films, including “The Siege of Yorktown,” with a 180-degree surround screen and dramatic special effects.

In outdoor living-history areas, explore activities in a re-created Continental Army encampment and Revolution-era farm, based on a real-life 18th-century family. The state-operated museum of the American Revolution is an excellent starting point for a tour of Yorktown.

Open year-round 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except Christmas and New Year’s days. Outdoor living-history areas open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
