More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto sun-warmed brick paths and the air carries salt from the York River, museum plazas opening like chapters along a 23-mile stretch of road. The Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown operate as complementary portals: one reconstructs the earliest English colonial experiment and encounters with Powhatan and African cultures, the other stages the Revolution’s final military and social convulsions.
