Past Events

2009 Marked the 15th anniversary of the Reenactment of the Battles of Kemps Landing & Great Bridge. This annual event is held the first weekend in December (2010: December 4th & 5th)

The 2009 Chesapeake Freedom Challenge brought together students in Chesapeake to solve historic clues! The winner of this year's event was Veritas Christian Academy.

Dedication of Billy Flora Way

On December 4, 2009 the City of Chesapeake, in partnership with Open Roads Consulting and the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Foundation honored an American hero, William "Billy" Flora with a street named after him. Billy Flora, a freed slave that fought on the side of the Patriots, is widely considered a hero of the Battle of Great Bridge.

Special thanks to the Chesapeake Sheriff's Office & Sheriff John Newhart for their lead sponsorship of our 2009 Great Bridge Waterways Festival on October 24, 2009!

We are so grateful for their continued support of our cause!
