Funding for Yorktown National Battlefield
Funding for Yorktown National Battlefield
Why this petition matters
Yorktown National Battlefield in Virginia remains a key National Park to millions of visitors to Virginia's Colonial Parkway each year. The park is in badly need of repair and restoration. It also has vast land ready for restoration of some of the key locations that served to bring about America's Independence.
The park should receive all necessary funding to implement its original mission. The siege lines should be restored and completed in some sections. Cannons should be restored and returned to all wayside markers & positions, and more interpretive signs that tell the story of how a diverse group of people and nations came together to help America win its Independence from Britain.
Restoration of Yorktown National Battlefield will drive visitation and investment into Virginia's economy in the most historic area.
