The World Turned Upside Down

“Liberty Is Won”

Feel the excitement of the battlefield. Hear the cannons roar, the muskets report in your imagination as you visit the site of the last major battle of the Revolutionary War. It was at Yorktown Virginia where British General Cornwallis surrendered his army to General George Washington and the allied French forces.

While on your private guided tour you will see the house where the surrender was negotiated, the cave where General Cornwallis took refuge from the bombardment and the canon ball in the home of the Virginia Governor who ordered his own house shelled to rout the British occupying it. If a visit to the museum is in the itinerary, you will see “the” cannon made famous by General Marquis de Lafayette. You will hear the most patriotic words of one who loved America, who loved George Washington and who in turn George Washington called “his son”. This man, whose name will be revealed to you, named his son George Washington.
