Lunch & Learn: Battle of Great Bridge at Isle of Wight County Museum (Isle of Wight)

December 9, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

The Battle of Great Bridge took place on December 9, 1775, in Great Bridge over a narrow bridge that crossed the southern branch of the Elizabeth River. The bridge was a key part of the main road connecting Norfolk to North Carolina, and the battle ultimately helped the Continental Army drive the British from the colony. Learn about the role of the Isle of Wight County militia in this victory for the Patriots.
