Join J. Michael Moore, Curator of Lee Hall Mansion and Historic Endview, for a lively discussion of Civil War Yorktown. Although better remembered for the American Revolution victory in 1781, Yorktown was again the center of military activity during the Civil War. Mr. Moore’s wide-ranging talk covers the 1862 Siege of the Warwick-Yorktown Line, the occupation of Yorktown by Union forces, the arrival of United States Colored Troops and the settlement of former enslaved persons at Slabtown.
