Yorktown Battlegrounds

The Yorktown Battleground is just a few miles from us. We live in the next city over, about a 10 minute drive away. These are photos of the The American and French Siege Lines and the Bulwarks, respectfully. I did not take the photos, but I have been thinking about Yorktown a lot lately, knowing we STILL need to take the guided tour through the battlegrounds, and also because the 4th of July is upon us in a few days. If we go see fireworks this year, we will go to Yorktown to do so - a perfect and most fitting place to celebrate our United States of America! I love living here in the heart of all of this rich American History. A description of the events leading up to the battle are below the images here. A trip to Mount Vernon is wished for before the summer is over, but only if Matt actually gets a job. That's another story!
