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.
