CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — Chesapeake Parks, Recreation, and Tourism and the Chesapeake Convention & Visitors Bureau are excited to announce the launch of their new African American Heritage Trail.

The trail includes a self-guided driving tour of six historical sites throughout Chesapeake. There’s even a podcast available to accompany explorers along their journey. One of those sites includes the Superintendent’s House along the Great Dismal Swamp.

Toby L. Word, of Chesapeake Convention & Visitors Bureau, met with our team to discuss the historical significance of the building.
