Yorktown Freight Shed
Yorktown Historic Frieght Shed, 331 Water St, Yorktown, VA 23690, USA- Spaces for 130 Guests
- 1 Historic Space
- 1 Waterfront
The Freight Shed sits at Riverwalk Landing on the York River in historic Yorktown, Virginia. Built in 1935 by the National Park Service after a storm destroyed much of the original waterfront, the building served as a terminal for Baltimore steamships until 1952 and later operated as a post office, before an extensive 2005 renovation coincided with the opening of Riverwalk Landing. Today the roughly 1,950-square-foot venue hosts weddings, reunions, banquets, concerts, and business meetings and lectures for up to 130 seated guests. Glass arched doors open onto a large brick riverside plaza, with river views and sunsets forming a backdrop for photography, while an adjoining tented area extends the space for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and dancing. A Freight Shed rental includes use of the venue, tables and white chairs suitable both indoors and under the tent, the adjacent tent space, and access to a caterer's kitchen. The venue is available for events from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
