About the Business
The Swan Tavern, located at 300 Main Street in Yorktown, Virginia, is a historic institution that dates back to 1722. Originally opened by Thomas “Scotch Tom” Nelson and Joseph Walker, the tavern quickly became a popular gathering spot in the town. Although it was in operation until just before the Civil War, the building was later used by the Union army for storing gunpowder and ammunition. Unfortunately, a fire in 1863 caused the tavern to explode, leading to its reconstruction by the National Park Service in 1935.
Today, the Swan Tavern serves as a rental property, maintaining its historic charm and significance in Yorktown. While it was previously occupied by Swan Tavern Antiques, the current tenant information is unknown. Visitors can explore the reconstructed building and learn about its rich history in the heart of the historical area of Yorktown. Be sure to check out the Historical Buildings of Yorktown web page for a map of the area to plan your visit to this iconic institution.
