CHUCKATUCK HISTORICAL FOUNDATION
Tuesday, August 18, the Greater Chuckatuck Historical Foundation will meet at 7PM in the fellowship hall of Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church. The board will have many advancements to report. The board believes the Foundation is ready to move from the "idea" stage to the "action" stage. With that said, action is needed from everyone who has an interest in this project. Come if you are interested in local archaeology, want to know more about the Suffolk/Chuckatuck escarpment that forms the ridge above Route 10 between the village of Chuckatuck and the Isle of Wight line? Help us map the land grants to early settlers along the Nansemond River and Chuckatuck Creek? Maybe you know your way around the Library of Virginia which holds information that would reveal more about our history? Does the Revolutionary War interests you? Find more about the British burning Milner's Town which was located near the new Veteran Cemetery. I live in what was once Milner’s town on a western branch of the Nansemond River. It is complete with a cemetery last used in 1930 and we know who is buried there.

Sounds fine, so long as they do not intend to ask or demand more of my tax money. So long as this is not another public money grab, sounds great. What about the history of the native people who where here first?
