Travel Tips for Yorktown
Old Postcard from August 1907
by grandmaR
My grandfather sent this postcard to my grandmother from where they lived in Philadelphia in1907. My grandmother had apparently gone home to her parents for a visit because the postcard is addressed to her in NC and he had gone to Norfolk. In 1907, the Jamestoen Exposition was held - and many of the buildings were constructed in Norfolk. The card says:
No 22. MAIN STREET, YORKTOWN, VIRGINIA.
This dreamy old town of York was immortalized and made a living actor in history by the siege and surrender of Lord Cornwallis in 1781, the victory by which the independence of the United States of America was achieved. The town has changed but little since then, and is picturesque and quaint to a degree. The old custom house, the first in the United States, can be seen on the left in this view, and is one of the links connecting the present with that glorious day.
Williamsburg
by bugalugs
If you are visiting Yorktown then you are also in the vicinity of Williamsburg and it is definitely worth a visit.This old colonial town was once the capital of Virginia. The people are dressed in the colonial style. It was named after the reigning Kind William of Orange. The town became quite run down and it was in the 1920's that the Reverand Goodwin desparately wanted the town to be restored to its formy glory and with the help financially of John Rockefeller his dream came true.
The buildings some of which are authentic others that have been reconstructed are so lovely and if you purchase a pass at the visitors centre you can go in some of the buildings.
Nelson House
by bugalugs
Thomas Nelson Jr (Grandson of the above) also lived here. He was born on 26th December 1738 and was educated in England. He married a Lucy Grymes and they had 11 children. He was a very prominent businessman and a delegate to Congress in Philadelphia, where he signed the declaration for Independance.
