Native American History

The land where Cherry Grove rests has long been steeped in history.

Their presence is still felt in the quiet, rolling hills and the winding creeks that runs through the property. The land’s story took on new chapters as the years passed, and it witnessed the trials and triumphs of history.

Civil War History

During the American Civil War, Suffolk became a battleground, with the land around Cherry Grove hosting the echoes of the Battle of Suffolk in 1863. The Battle of Suffolk, also known as the Siege of Suffolk, was a military engagement during the American Civil War that took place near Suffolk, Virginia, from April 11-May 4, 1863, where Confederate forces under General James Longstreet attempted to besiege a Union garrison commanded by Major General John J. Peck; despite surrounding the Union troops, the Confederates were unable to capture Suffolk and were ultimately forced to withdraw. The strength and resilience of those who fought here linger, like whispers in the breeze, telling the tale of the sacrifices made for the future.
