Historical Description:
The Yorktown Museum was founded in 1966. Its first location was in two rooms of the Davenport House. Then, in 1970, the Museum was moved into the Fowler House. After a series of relocations, the museum settled in 1976 on its present location. The address is currently known as: The Albert A. Capellini Community and Cultural Center.
