Yorktown is a great place to walk around. The Gallery has such a nice selection of local artists and craftsmen. Their selections are always interesting, always changing. The staff is friendly and very helpful without hovering. It’s worth a visit!

What will bring your attention to this house is that there are still cannonballs in the walls of the exterior of the house from the Siege of Yorktown. It is also the home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence. A lot of great Revolutionary War history here.
