Colonial Soldiers at the Yorktown Battlefield
Yorktown highlights the decisive battle of Yorktown just 20 miles east of Jamestown. The British Army
under Cornwallis had occupied the port of Yorktown and it was here that Washington with the help of an
army led by Lafayette and another led by Rochambeau, and the French fleet under Degrasse would trap
Cornwallis and defeat his army in the last major battle of the revolution.
Washington and Rochambeau 's armies marched to that victory from Williamsburg, an event well
documented in roadside signs.
The Yorktown Jamestown Foundation runs the Yorktown Victory Center an encampment and museum
near the Yorktown Battle site where costumed interpreters explain in meticulous historic detail the life of
the colonial soldier.
The National Park service manages the actual battle site where rangers conduct tours and guest can
self-guide over twelve miles of loop roads with pullouts and interpretive plaques. Washington's army
laid siege to Yorktown in September of 1781, firing cannon into the British positions for 19 days. The
village of Yorktown took a terrible beating, with the destruction of half its houses but a few Colonial era
gems remain, some still marked by the strike of cannon balls. The town maintains pedestrian only
streets and a walkway that leads from the Park Service battle site to the town.
The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation,has created displays that depict life in this first successful English
settlement and the life of a colonial army soldier. The actors and interpreters help us understand what life was
like for the early settlers and for the colonial soldiers who fought at the Battle of Yorktown...
The costumed guides at the Yorktown Battle site help visitors experience the era with demonstrations of
hands-on history. They give detailed descriptions of the life of the colonial soldier during the revolution.
