Chesapeake played a major role in the birth of the United States of America, making it a vital historic destination. Here, you can relive pivotal moments in American history and learn more about Chesapeake's past at a wide range of happenings. Every December, actors recreate the crucial victory won at the Battle of Great Bridge, which resulted in the removal of all vestiges of the British Government from the Colony of Virginia.
Historians and others will find this Revolutionary War enactment fascinating and enjoy the chance to learn about this landmark battle. At this annual two-day event, visitors can view war encampments and character portrayals, and take advantage of activities designed specifically for children. A few years after the Battle of Great Bridge, Chesapeake came to prominence as a commerce center with the construction of the Dismal Swamp Canal in the 1790s.
The canal has been in service for over 230 years and is the oldest continuously used man-made canal in the United States.
