About Colonial National Historical Park. Colonial National Historical Park was established in 1930 to preserve important 17th and 18th century sites that tell the story of English arrival in a Native homeland, colonization and suppression, and the struggle for American independence. Jamestown’s legacy includes representative government, but also slavery, a brutal institution that spread throughout the colonies. At Yorktown, colonists fought in the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War. The scenic 23-mile Colonial Parkway links the sites and is recognized as an “All-American road”.
