If you enjoy learning about history, experience all the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Foundation has to offer. Its historic park and museum provide a fun journey back in time. Here is some of what you can discover near our Town Center apartments:
Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Museum
Found in a Georgian-style building, the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Museum welcomes visitors by both land and water. It's an important educational destination and features exhibit spaces highlighting the Battle of Great Bridge and the importance of the historic waterways. Stop by the gift shop before you leave for some exciting finds.
Historic Park & Interpretive Pathway
Telling the story of our country's history, the Historic Park & Interpretive Pathway welcomes visitors rain or shine. It "serves as a tribute to the Battle of Great Bridge" and offers scenery you'll want to capture for your Instagram page. As you explore, you'll also find a recreation of the 1775 Causeway, an outdoor amphitheater, and a picnic area where you can bring a basket filled with fried chicken, macaroni salad, and lemonade. A monument dedicated to the British troops who sacrificed their lives during the battle is also planned.
Southside Artists Association Art Show
Don't miss the Southside Artists Association Art Show. It's returning to the museum and will feature more than 25 local artists whose work "represents the Village of Great Bridge from the Revolutionary War through the present day." Their pieces may also highlight life along local waterways. This event will take place August 2nd through 5th, and August 9th through 12th.
