Customer Reviews
We found the area to be interesting. I enjoyed the museum. I liked seeing the items found in the vessel and really got a kick out of seeing the rigging site on the river. My son had fun chasing the hennie chicken and filming the event. My family had a relaxing and informative day.

-Marie Walker, Philadelphia, PA
.Least favorite part of the trip was the Yorktown Center it self.. Really enjoyed the Jamestown settlement outdoor exhibits. Again, our time there was limited due to inclement weather.
