A naturalization ceremony for candidates receiving American citizenship will be held next week at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown.

The event is hosted by the Yorktown Comte de Grasse Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation in partnership with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security.

A total of 99 eligible candidates will take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States and become American citizens. The ceremony begins at 11:30 a.m. next Thursday, May 11, and is open to the public on a space-available basis in the museum’s artillery amphitheater.

Before the ceremony, members of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation Honor Guard and Field Musick Virginia will lead the 99 participants in a patriotic procession from the museum’s education center to the artillery amphitheater to open the ceremony.
