Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail
Located on Washington Street in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail commemorates a pivotal chapter in American history. In 1781, the collaboration between General Rochambeau’s French Army and General Washington’s Continental Army culminated in a decisive victory against the British at Yorktown, Virginia. This strategic alliance, supported by the French Navy, marked the largest troop movement of the American Revolution and secured American independence.
Visitors to the trail can explore the rich history of this alliance and its impact on the United States' fight for freedom. Although paper copies of the Washington-Rochambeau Trail brochure are currently out of stock, a printable version is available online at [NPS.gov](https://www.nps.gov/waro/learn/news).
For those interested in further historical insights, the site offers access to fascinating resources, such as Keith Rocco's depiction of the British Surrender at Yorktown and information about the annual Yorktown Day parade. Additionally, archives in France list the names and regiments of French allies who perished during the Siege of Yorktown, enriching our understanding of the sacrifices made.
The trail is part of a broader network managed from King of Prussia, PA, and offers a unique opportunity to delve into the stories of courage and cooperation that defined a nation. For more information, please contact the Washington-Rochambeau National Historic Trail at 610-783-1006.
Come and walk the path of history, where the seeds of American independence were sown through an extraordinary international alliance.
