Yorktown Victory Monument

The Yorktown Victory Monument commemorates the victory at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, that led to the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. The monument was authorized by Congress in 1781, but was not built until 1884. The figure of Liberty was replaced in 1956 after the original was damaged by lightening in 1942.
