A beautiful country home. The staff very knowledgeable and the tour guide of the home was very good. Well worth the visit when in the Yorktown area. My wife and I are seniors and it was $12.00 for both of us.

I attended three re-enactments at Endview Plantation. Two Re-enactments of the Revolutionary War, and one of the Civil War. Endview does an awesome job scheduling excellent re-enactments of the Revolutionary War, Civil War WW-1, WW-2, and the War of 1812. Hope the City of Newport News knows about the outstanding job you do providing interpretive, and re-enactment events for citizens, and tourists alike.
