Yorktown Victory Monument

This place is absolutely amazing! So worth visiting! The history here is remarkable! Visited right after the 4th of July. It was awesome to see the gift left by the French Armed Forces on the monument. That was special. Having the National Park pass helps. Gets 4 people in. The museum is really neat as well, but the drive tour is very cool!

Victory monument in Yorktown is, in my mind, the most impressive monument within the historical triangle commemorative of the victory that indeed sealed the fate of the British and was the most instrumental victory in claiming our countries independence. Though plans were halted for an entire century, finally one hundred years after the promise to build, construction would take place between 1881 and 1884. It stands over 80foot tall majestically overseeing the York River, only a short distance from the visitor center, downtown Yorktown, and the open battlefields itself. It's hard to miss, and absolutely should be on your list of things to see, rather it be just passing through actual town or exploring the battlefield in its entirety. A very humbling and incredible spot to stand and reflect on the events that occurred there over two centuries ago and how they forged America and it's future.

We love visiting the Victory Monument! There is plenty to walk and see, from delicious coffee shops to art galleries and nature trails. Also few restaurants and a beautiful view of the York River, this is a family favorite!

If you like history, I'd highly recommend going. Very cool monument to the victory of Yorktown! There's also a historical drive nearby I'd highly recommend.
