Thomas Nelson House, Yorktown, Virginia

Thomas Nelson House




Thomas Nelson was an avid supporter of independence, a delegate to the Continental Congress, and Governor of Virginia. He led and funded a militia during the war and was involved in the Battle of Yorktown at which Cornwallis surrendered. His Yorktown home still has cannon balls embedded in the side.
