2023 Schedule

The Yorktown Trolley is one of the best ways to see Historic Yorktown, and you expect it back on the streets Friday, March 24, just in time for an exciting lineup of spring events!

The Trolley alleviates the hassle of finding parking close to the waterfront, especially during peak tourist season. The overall route takes an estimated 20 to 25 minutes to complete, and riders can now download the SPOT ETA mobile app to view the estimated wait time at each stop. While the transportation service is bookended by the two main historical attractions of the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, there are several convenient stops in between including the Victory Monument, Historic Main Street, Riverwalk Landing, Yorktown Beach, Watermen’s Museum, and the Courts and Office Complex. Friendly drivers offer helpful information so riders can focus on the scenery, the history, and where they want to have their next meal.

Each trolley is ADA accessible and includes an infotainment system highlighting details about upcoming Yorktown events as well as promotions for local businesses.
