The Yorktown Victory Center isn’t a large, expansive site like Colonial Williamsburg, but it is nicely done and very well operated. You begin with a stroll down a walkway that functions as a historical timeline. This takes you to the gallery building where you will find an interesting collection of original 18th century artifacts ranging from pocket watches to rifles.... more

Found the Victory Center to be very interesting from the timeline leading into the museum through the museum & movie. Then out back we participated in the cannon firing & musket demonstration. One of the most interesting things(even to the kids) was the medical tent where a doctors assistant explained all the diseases & most common injuries & what they... more

I arrived at Yorktown Victory Center at around 9:00 a.m. expecting an actual battlescene. There was nothing going on yet. I was disappointed that both "armies" were just standing around and that the action didn't start until later. My family went inside the museum (which was small) and we were in and out quickly. I didn't enjoy the Victory Center... more

I would have given it the highest rating, but the center is a little small. Tickets are not expensive, and the museum is interesting. I loved wandering around the Revolutionary War Camp and looking and learning from the actors. I also liked wandering around the tobacco farm. We tried to do Jamestown & Yorktown both in one day, and so... more

Our family visited the Yorktown Victory Center (YVC) on two separate occasions during our week-long stay in Williamsburg (6-13 April 2007). Parking was free and abundant for both of our visits. We purchased the Historic Triangle Passes at the Colonial Williamsburg ticket booth on the recommendation of the ticket agent (she gets a Gold Star from us) - so our... more

What an interesting museum! There are documents, artifacts from Revolutionary-era ships, a series of displays on ten people of the Revolutionary period (not just the usual suspects), two sets of reenactors -- and I've probably forgotten something. I was very impressed by the presentation on cannon firing, both by the accuracy and completeness of the information and by the ability... more

Just a short drive from Colonial Williamsburg you'll find the Yorktown Victory Center. As you walk to the museum, you'll follow the time line which proves to be helpful in understanding what happened in the 1700's. The museum contains maps, displays and artifacts (some from local digs) from that time period. A short film is also offered and will aid... more
