Our Vision

The Greater Chuckatuck Historical Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) organization, began its history book project by breaking it down into six stages: organizing, collecting information, creating, publishing, distributing, and archiving. Our aim is to meet the foundation’s mission and goals and to obtain financial support.

To achieve the mission and goals, we created committees and work groups by locality, topics of interest and tasks. We learned that work and support for various tasks sometimes overlap from phase to phase as new information and needs are addressed.

The scope of the project includes downtown Chuckatuck, Cherry Grove Road/Longview, Everets, Oakland, Reid’s Ferry and Sandy Bottom . The influence and impact of the American Indians and African Americans, as well as the many different nationalities and religious affiliations of the wider Chuckatuck community will be described in the book, Chuckatuck: Crossroads in Time.

The culture and activities involving schools, churches, businesses, farming, and organizations of the community at large will also be a part of this publication.

Chuckatuck: Crossroads in Time

After more than two years of steady work, the Greater Chuckatuck Historical Foundation has completed its book on the history of the southeastern Virginia villages of Cherry Grove, Chuckatuck, Everets, Exit, Longview, Oakland, Reid’s Ferry and Sandy Bottom.
