About the Park
The Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail extends 680 miles from Newport, Rhode Island, to Yorktown, Virginia. It follows the paths taken by George Washington's Continental Army and Jean-Baptiste de Rochambeau's Expédition Particulière during their 1781 march. France's support was vital to the American victory at Yorktown. The trail commemorates that victory and the lasting Franco-American friendship.
