Yorktown Colonial National Park


Saturday Oct 23, 2010
Visited Yorktown Battle Field, a Colonial National Historical Park. This is where a final battle took place between General Charles Lord Cornwallis commanding the British army and General George Washington’s American and French army. If you remember your history Cornwallis finally had to surrender to Washington on October 19, 1781 essentially ending the America Revolution.
We took an excellent ranger tour here with a gal that really knew her stuff. If she’d been my history teacher I would definitely stayed engaged. She really made the battle come alive.
