Yorktown, Virginia Part 2
In the previous post, I shared about a visit to the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. If you love American history, this is a great place to go if you can!
Aside from the museum, one can also visit the Continental Army Encampment.
“Historical interpreters describe and depict daily routines of American soldiers, with demonstrations of military drills, musket and seasonal artillery firing, 18th-century surgical and medical practices, and the role of the quartermaster in managing troop supplies.”
*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!
There is also a revolution-era farm based upon ‘Edward Moss (c.1757-1786), whose life is well-documented in York County, Virginia, records.’
Historical interpreters talk about farm and domestic life.
The log cabin with its own little garden area is the enslaved workers quarters.
Learn about crops, such as tobacco.
Yorktown is a must-see to make colonial history come alive for you and your children…a great way to learn!
See the world around you!

That looks like a fabulous place to visit! I love those living history museums where there are people dressed in the clothing of the time, who tell you all about life back then. My history loving son would enjoy this one, too!
