The Chesapeake Arboretum originally opened its doors in 1996 and has been welcoming hundreds of visitors on a regular basis ever since.

Despite the fact that the Battleship Wisconsin is located in Norfolk, die-hard history buffs don't mind the drive at all.

A gift shop as well as several excellent photo opportunities are available at this popular historic attraction.
