The afternoon tour at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown includes the cannon firing at 3:00pm (weather dependent). We spend about three (3) hours in Jamestown, have lunch (self pay or you can bring your own lunch), and about three (3) hours in Yorktown. The roundtrip drive takes about one hour.
