Moore House, Colonial museum in Yorktown, United States
The Moore House stands within Colonial National Historical Park, featuring period furnishings and architectural elements from the 18th century.
General Cornwallis and George Washington's representatives met at this house in October 1781 to negotiate the British surrender terms at Yorktown.
The building represents colonial American architecture with its rectangular shape, steep gabled roof, and symmetrical brick construction typical of Virginia plantations.
Visitors can take guided tours of the house from Tuesday through Sunday, learning about the Revolutionary War negotiations through exhibits and displays.
The National Park Service restored the house between 1931 and 1934 using historical photographs to recreate its exact appearance during the surrender negotiations.
