The Yorktown Victory Center is the state run building at Yorktown (not associated with the Battlefield which is a National Park). After entering the first building (which contains the gift shop) and paying the enterance fee, you walk down a "historical" walkway to the museum. This walkway has larges walls with historical events that led up to the Revolutionary War, with quotes from many key personalities from that time.
After leaving the walkway and entering the museum, you walk through an very unique exhibit. Each alcove has three or four "people" (statues) in what would have been a normal setting; a recording is taking place over speakers that accounts what life was like for each of those people during the period focused on in that alcove. A spotlight highlights each "person" as they "tell" their story. There is a movie at the museum (others said it was good, a two-year-old prevented us from watching it). On a lower level there are artifacts from the "Betsy", one of the ships sunk in the harbor.
When you leave the museum, you head to a soldier encampment where "soldiers" answer your questions and talk about life as a soldier. They also perform demonstrations, the most popular one being the loading and firing of a canon.
After leaving the encampment, there is a "colonial farm" to pass through. People are actively working the farm in the colonial style, and answer questions and give explanations for what they are doing.
