BRICKS FOR
HISTORY CAMPAIGN
The Battle of Great Bridge,
December 9, 1775, played a critical role in the Revolutionary War and the
subsequent creation of our great nation. It was this patriot victory that
forced Lord Dunmore, British Royal Governor of Virginia, and his soldiers to evacuate
and ultimately leave Virginia. As a direct result of this victory, four days
after this crucial battle The Virginia Convention adopted the first public
declaration expressing a spirit of independence. How different our country
might be, had it not been for the Battle of Great Bridge and the significant
contributions of our waterways.
Through
our mission to protect, preserve, and promote the history of the Battle of
Great Bridge, the Foundation has been instrumental in preserving portions
of the historic Revolutionary Battlefield, artifacts discovered
onsite, and shared the history of this
strategic battle with generations
of visitors
from all backgrounds.
