The Lynnhaven History Tour

This web log is intended to promote interest in Virginia Beach history -- particularly in existing historical houses, which contribute greatly to the city's sense of identity and are the subject of a forthcoming documentary. It is my hope that, in the future, this will also become a forum for the exchange of local history information.
