About Yorktown Historic Main Street:
Located in the heart of Historic Yorktown, Main Street is lined with significant architecture that played a key role in both the American Revolution and the Civil War. The Custom House displays historical artifacts and detailed sketches depicting life and activities in the 1860s. During the holiday season, it also features a special Colonial Christmas Ornament Exhibit. At the top of the hill, Mobjack Coffee Roasters & Petite Café occupies the Historic Cole Digges House, circa 1730, and is part of the Yorktown Colonial National Historical Park. Remarkably, it is one of the original village buildings that predates the Revolutionary War. Next door, the Little York Confectionery, also known as the Sommerwell House, adds to the charm of this historic area. Finally, at the end of the street, the iconic Victory Monument stands proudly, commemorating the pivotal 1781 victory at Yorktown.
