The Nelson House was the home of Thomas Nelson, Jr. (1738-89), Yorktown's most famous son and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Nelson's devotion to the patriot cause during the American Revolution contributed significantly to the creation of the United States.
The town was only open for the walking tour and closed for driving due to the weather- which means it was free! (We asked the front desk) it was wonderful to have the place to ourselves. Will definitely go back in the spring/summer.

You know when you're driving your dogs back from the park after a hike in 95-degree heat amongst civil war ruins and you see this unassuming place in the corner of a strip mall and you HAVE to stop? Like it's an unarguable compulsion? Yeah. Don't ignore that. That's your deeper sense of instinct talking, and it knows what's up. And what's up is this drool-worthy shrimp 'n crab po' boy from the Skrimp Shack in Yorktown. There are two locations -- if you live anywhere in Hampton Roads (Coastal Virginia), this is very much worth a stop! Lobster rolls, po boys, hushpuppies, the works.
