Walk in the footsteps of our nation’s founders and beloved patriots – men like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and the Marquis de Lafayette – when you visit the Battlefield and American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. Both attractions are a short walk, or free Trolley ride, from the Riverwalk Landing Parking Terrace. 

Patriot Tours & Provisions

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can tour the area by Segway, bicycle, kayak or paddleboard with rental options from Patriot Tours & Provisions. The public beach is also the perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming and sunsets.  Set sail aboard Yorktown’s home-ported schooners, the Alliance II and Serenity or take the kids on a pirate adventure cruise.     

Riverwalk Landing is the community hub for free outdoor concerts, Saturday farmers markets, festivals and special holiday events. Annual highlights include the Blues, Brews & BBQ festival, Fourth of July Celebration, Wine Festival, and Art Stroll. Each Christmas brings the Tree Lighting, Lighted Boat Parade, Market on Main Street, and Mistletoe Market and Toyland Parade. Those arriving by water can dock at either of the floating piers which are equipped to welcome cruise ships, visiting tall ships and smaller leisure vessels. 

As you can see, this diverse travel destination has a little bit of everything! History and hospitality are just a short, scenic drive along the Parkway from Williamsburg.
