Five days after its capture, the allied leaders met in Redoubt No. 10 and affixed their signatures to the Articles of Capitulation which already had been signed by the British commanders. This is, perhaps, the most memorable spot on the Yorktown Battlefield. 5. AMERICAN SECTOR, FIRST ALLIED SIEGE LINE. The route now leads across the field, open as in 1781, between the allied lines. Part of the reconstructed communicating trench is visible. The next stop is in the American sector of the first siege line at a point where the Americans began to build their entrenchments (partly reconstructed). 6. AMERICAN APPROACH ROAD. The tour now follows the road used by the American troops as they approached the fighting line. It passes the location of their temporary supply depot. It is of interest to note that the road is well down in a ravine and this gave protection from shellfire. It led to the encampment area where troops bivouacked and lived. Before crossing Wormley Creek, however, the road turns back toward the York River. 7. MOORE HOUSE. Here in the private home of Augustine Moore on October 18, 1781, commissioners met to draft the Articles of Capitulation. Constructed about 1725, the restored house is furnished as a home of the 1776-81 period. It is open daily. 8. MOORES MILL DAM. On the return from the Moore House the tour crosses Wormley Creek over a dam where Augustine Moore had a grist mill, as part of his 600-acre plantation. Ice for storage was probably cut here in winter. [Illustration: _Mill dam road across Wormley Creek._] The marked drive now passes through a section of the American encampment. Markers identify the more significant sites including: 9. BENJAMIN LINCOLN’S HEADQUARTERS SITE and 10. LAFAYETTE’S HEADQUARTERS SITE. [Illustration: _“Surrender Room” in Moore House where the Articles of Capitulation were drafted._] 11. SURRENDER FIELD. The next stop is at the south end of the field where the British laid down their arms as called for in the Articles of Capitulation. A sweeping view of a part of this field is possible from a raised platform especially designed for the purpose. In front of this is the trace of the old Warwick Road and bounding it on the right is the still existing York-Hampton Road. It was along the latter that the British troops marched out from Yorktown and this section of it is now known as Surrender Road. 12. SURRENDER ROAD. From Surrender Field it is possible to go directly back to Yorktown. It is suggested, however, that the route through the encampment area and to the British outer works be chosen. 13. ENCAMPMENT DRIVE. Here the road passes through historically interesting, and scenically beautiful, countryside. This is the only access to such areas as: A. _Von Steuben’s Headquarters Site._ Major General von Steuben, like Lincoln and Lafayette, commanded a division of American troops.
