Excellent museum with a very well laid out path through history up to just after the declaration of Independence was signed. The guns were the highlight because frankly, who doesn't like them?You really gain an appreciation for what our ancestors went through to gain independence. Highly recommend.

This is an amazing historical place, well organized, well maintained and well built. I have never seen a museum with so many video presentations throughout the museum. Outside area was so cool with the natural garden, chickens running around and little historical presentations. Plus, they are members of museums4all.

Gives excellent information on the American Revolution and is easy to understand. Re-enactments are fun, and there are some hands-on activities for children. Free for local residents.
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. Exciting indoor galleries feature period artifacts, immersive environments and films, including “The Siege of Yorktown,” with a 180-degree surround screen and dramatic special effects.
Guests can explore the re-created Continental Army encampment and view daily demonstrations of military camp life, medical treatment, cooking and flintlock musket firings. A re-created Revolution-era farm, based on a real-life 18th-century family, allows visitors to help with chores in the house, kitchen, tobacco barn, gardens and crops.
