    I’ve lived in Great Bridge for over 50 years and learned of the battle in grade school. With that said, if you’re not a local ( within 15 miles), or if you don’t drive by the museum and stop in, almost no one knows of the battle. Nice to see the local history being shared, thanks.

    Absolutely phenomenal. One of the best kept secrets of American victory during the revolution!

      Thanks Dustin. It’s a great stop if you don’t have a ton of time. It’s brand new and well put together.

    Thank you brother for bringing this to light in celebration of our heritage and culture.! I am a native opinion and my people came over here from the west country and Wales in the 1630s to Gloucester County down in Guinea neck. I had ancestors that fought under George Washington and with LightHorse Harry Lee.

    Great video, if you ever come through the area again, there's another out-of-the-way spot over in Hampton at the Battle of Big Bethel. It has some claim to being the first real battle of the Civil War, depending on who you ask. Most of the area is underwater since they flooded it to make a reservoir after the war, but there is a marker and some other items still there.

    • @ProjectPast1565
      @ProjectPast1565  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ll definitely mark that down. Love finding these overlooked areas. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching.

    The Jones' of Virginia may have left Virginia, but our blood is still there. I wouldn't be here if Virginia fell. Grateful for this video.

    Great job, also didn't know about this battle and i'am about an hour away from Concord so of course we know all about that battle , and old Deerfeild is right down the road so we have alot of history for King Philippe's War near me .

    Tripping and falling down the rabbit hole of genealogy, Last week finding out that my way back when Uncle was Brigadier General William Skinner who fought in this battle.
