Watermen's Museum In Yorktown

Cute little museum with nautical exhibits. The museum is $5 for adults and is full of local history.

Super adorable museum, very interesting displays and the staff is very nice and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed all the ship models and the local history. They have events year-round like concerts and dances, and you always feel welcome. They rent out the Carriage House for parties and special events--went to a beautiful wedding there. Lovely view of the York River. The address is actually 309 Water Street, zip is 23690.

A little gem! First you'll meet Mary and learn of the history of the area, how the bay was formed, wild horses, and waterman restoration efforts of the bay today. We had the pleasure of meeting Bruce, the model boat maker. Bruce's interaction with our son shows his excitement for his craft. The museum is full of information and history, a must visit and we'll worth the nominal entry fee!
