About Yorktown Victory Monument
Congress authorized a monument at Yorktown soon after receiving news of Cornwallis’s surrender in October 1781, although construction did not begin until a century later. The monument commemorates the Franco-American siege and victory that effectively ended major combat in the Revolution. Its figures and inscriptions honor the alliance, the victory, and the creation of an independent nation.
