While Jamestown gets all the credit as the first successful English settlement in America, Yorktown's story is equally fascinating to me. It transformed from a small settlement huddled around a fort for safety, to a thriving port city, and finally, the stage for the pivotal surrender that sealed the American Revolution. Yorktown embodies the journey of early America – the struggles, the commerce, and the fight for independence. It's a place where history truly comes alive.
