In the afternoon, the three men set off to tour the Watermen's Museum several blocks from the marina. The exhibits provided an overview of the men and their boats, fin fishing and shell fishing, photographs and models of the life and times on the river. Lynn and I took the trolley to the Yorktown Victory Center, a living-history musem where the American Revolution comes to life. We walked the Revolution Timeline, an open-air walkway tracing the events leading to the Revolution, galleries that witness the birth of a nation, a film set in an encampment at night during the Siege of Yorktown, Continental Army encampment (as shown here with the York River in the background), and a 1780s farm after the British surrender. We rode the trolley to our next stop, the Nelson House. Thomas Nelson, Jr. (1738-1789) was Yorktown's most famous son and a signer to the Declaration of Independence.
