250th Anniversary Of The Battle Of Kemp's Landing Revolutionary War Skirmish In Virginia Reenactment

Full title: "The 250th Anniversary Of The Battle Of Kemp's Landing, The First Revolutionary War Skirmish In Virginia And The South With Reenactment Footage"

Yesterday, November 15, 2025, was the 250th anniversary of The Battle Of Kemp's Landing, the first Revolutionary War skirmish to take place in the state of Virginia and the overall South.  I travelled to Virginia Beach to spend time in the area, featuring the marker,  near the corner of Witchduck and Princess Anne where the battle is believed to have occurred and at City View Park where the reenactment was held.

The following is footage that I shot and recorded.  Note: Any reenactors or people, otherwise, involved with the day, can save and repost any material here that you desire.

Stop One: The area believed to be where the skirmish occurred.

Stop Two: City View Park for the reenactment.

The colors are more vibrant in this shot for some reason:

I stumbled upon a tree and tree branch fortification ...

Back Home.

When I go to different events, I stop in the tourist information centers to find brochures.  As I drove down 13 South, I saw the Virginia Welcome Center in New Church.  I was greeted by those in there and asked if I would like a Virginia 250 Passport.  I was then asked if I could have my picture taken by the VA 250 Passport table.  The picture was immediately uploaded to their FaceBook page.  As I was walking within City View Park, a Virginia 250 committee member recognized me from that photo.  My picture was taken in City View Park as well.  I was seen "on the way to" and "upon arrival at".  A very incredible moment.  Certainly, this is an example of one advantage in having social media technology.

Some souvenirs of the day (including a sample of grass in the same manner of my grass sample in Lexington back in April):
