United States Virginia Yorktown

Redoubt 10

A historical fortification captured by American and French forces in 1781, pivotal in the decisive victory of the Revolutionary War.

Tips from the community

A redoubt is basically an early trench where soldiers would take cover. Redoubts 9 and 10 are noted on the Yorktown Battlefield maps, because George Washington was almost definitely in these places during the battle. It's incredible to be able to stand where he stood and realize the impact on history and the world.

  • Virginia's Historic Triangle

    I have spent my whole life visiting different places in Virginia and was lucky enough to live there for six years. In that time I have visited countless historic sites and even had the chance to work at some. From archaeological sites to historic trades, Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown have a lot to offer any visitor to the Historic Triangle.
