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 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through July 24), except Christmas and New Year’s days. Outdoor living-history areas open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
