Historic House

One of colonial America's grandest mansions, Rosewell was built between 1725-1738 and gutted by fire in 1916. Four massive chimneys, one wall, and a vaulted cellar are now silent witnesses to history. Stabilized, but not rebuilt, Rosewell allows visitors to inspect 18th-century brickwork from a perspective that no intact building can offer.
The Rosewell mansion was the centerpiece of a 3000-acre plantation where slaves cultivated tobacco and grain. Beneath its soil, countless artifacts now wait for archaeologists to interpret them. While preservation and study are ongoing, there are no plans to rebuild the mansion within its remaining walls.

The Yorktown Arts Foundation was established in 1975 and has served our community continuously since that time. The Foundation’s roots began with the Arts Committee of the York County Bicentennial Committee, and the Foundation was established and chartered in November 1975 in order to promote and support the arts for the citizens of York County and the surrounding area.

Since its establishment, the Yorktown Arts Foundation has operated an art center and gallery to effectively execute the goals of the foundation. Initially, the Yorktown Creative Arts Center was operated from a location on Church Street.
