2026 is all about our nation's big birthday party as we relive the moments from the formation of the Continental Army to the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the key battles of the American Revolution.

It all culminates in October at Yorktown, site of the decisive siege in the American Revolutionary War where American and French forces, led by George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau, trapped and forced the surrender of British General Lord Cornwallis's army in October 1781.

In honor of this major battle, Yorktown is hosting a Victory Parade and Martz has reserved seating for this historic event.

ACCESSIBILITY

If you require special assistance getting on or off the bus, or if you are bringing a wheelchair or scooter, please make note of it in the Comments section when making your reservation.

WALKABILITY

There is quite a bit of walking involved especially at Colonial Williamsburg and the Yorktown Battlefield.

The amount of walking you do inside the museums is up to you.

The bus will transport you to each venue and drop you off as close to the entrance as possible each time but there is walking involved in many of the tours.

HOTEL INFO

We will spend all three nights at Embassy Suites Williamsburg which has an indoor pool, fitness center and on-site restaurant.

You may request a room with two beds and we will pass it on to the hotels but since they are limited, we cannot guarantee that you will be assigned a room with two beds. Requests made after the rooming list has been submitted to the hotel (usually 4-6 weeks before the departure date) cannot be accommodated.

VENUE INFO

Don't forget to view the new special exhibit, "Call to Arms: The Soldier and The Revolutionary War" at the National Museum of the U.S. Army which  provides the only comprehensive portrayal of Army history and traditions, and offers educational experiences to illustrate the Army’s role in building and defending our nation, as well as humanitarian missions, public contributions, and technological and medical breakthroughs.

Watch as marching bands, historical reenactors and community groups stroll by at

Yorktown Victory Parade where we will have reserved seating.

Recapture the drama of the war during a guided tour at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown where new galleries tell the story of everyday people who lived during the war. A must see: the cannon firing, fife and drum performance and musket demonstration in the amphitheater.

Costumed docents will lead the tour of Colonial Williamsburg where Virginia patriots developed principles of self-government, individual liberty and responsible leadership. 

The guided tour of Yorktown Battlefield shows what it took for the United States to be independent as we explore the site of the last major battle of the Revolutionary War.

MEALS

Breakfast will be served at the hotel on Days 2, 3 and 4.

Boxed lunches will be available on Days 1 and 2.

We will enjoy a seafood buffet dinner at Captain George's Seafood Restaurant.

Our farewell dinner is at Whaling Company in Williamsburg, a restaurant designed like a New England boathouse.

If you are asked to make a meal selection, orders placed after the deadline (usually two weeks to one month before the departure) may not be received.
