Episode 27:

In this episode, I sit down with Heidi Speece, Content Marketing Specialist for York County Economic & Tourism Development, for a lively conversation about what makes Yorktown, Virginia, such an outstanding destination—especially as America marks its 250th anniversary.

Heidi shares why this storied corner of the Tidewater region continues to captivate visitors, from its remarkable Revolutionary War history to its scenic setting along the beautiful York River. We also discuss Yorktown’s vibrant community, walkable waterfront, cultural events, and the unforgettable experiences that make it a must-visit destination in 2026 and beyond.

Whether you're planning a getaway or love exploring America’s historic towns, this episode is filled with inspiration and insight.
