There is a peninsula in southeastern Virginia that is approximately 30 miles long and 10 miles wide. It's known simply as "The Peninsula". It is home to three very important places in American history - Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown. These are known as "The Historic Triangle". Albums on this site are devoted to each of these places. I wish my photographs could match my passion for this beautiful place and for its historic significance. I am humbled by this piece of land and by what happened there.

Yorktown is located on the York River and was the scene of the last major battle of the Revolutionary War. This is where the British surrendered.
