What to expect

Once downloaded, your tour begins at either the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center or the Yorktown Visitor Center.

In Williamsburg, you'll first delve into the indigenous history of the Powhatan tribe and the iconic Pocahontas. Experience their intriguing story of resilience and adaptation in a rapidly changing world. Next, stop by the Peyton Randolph House, a carefully restored example of colonial grandeur that once hosted American Founding Fathers.

Nearby, discover the Colonial Williamsburg Fife and Drum Building. Here, the sights and sounds of colonial times come alive as the youthful corps performs in traditional regalia, beating out rhythms that once marshaled militias.

In Yorktown, you'll travel along Colonial National Historical Parkway, absorbing detailed accounts of the lead-up to the battle. Then you'll see the Moore House, where terms of British surrender were negotiated.

Hear about the thrilling siege and the pivotal French and American Alliance before reaching Surrender Field, where British troops laid down their arms. Then, continue on to the site of George Washington's former headquarters.

As you explore the aftermath of the conflict, the birth of an independent nation, and the battlefield's impressive topography, take in panoramic views from the Grand French Battery, the solemn Yorktown National Cemetery, and the Yorktown Victory Monument. Your tour concludes here.
