Yorktown Victory Monument - Yorktown, Virginia
This monument was authorized by Continental Congress, October 29, 1781, just after the news of surrender reached Philadelphia. Actual construction began 100 years later and was completed in 1884.
The original figure of Liberty atop the Victory shaft was severely damaged by lightning. A new work replaced it in 1956. The shaft of Maine granite is 84 feet in height to which Liberty adds another 14 feet.
I included the name of the monument, Yorktown Victory Monument, and it’s location, Yorktown, Virginia.
