On Saturday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Yorktown Heritage Preservation Commission / Yorktown 250, in partnership with the Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route Association (W3R) and the Yorktown Grange, will commemorate the role that French General Count de Rochambeau and the French army played in aiding General Washington and the Continental Army in the fight for freedom from British rule.
Part of this commemoration will include the firing of simulated Revolutionary War-era muskets. Do not be alarmed if you hear simulated gunfire in the area.
