NORFOLK, Va. – The City of Norfolk wants to uncover the city's 400-year-old history and discover what stories are worth sharing.

Norfolk’s Historic Preservation staff and the Architectural Review Board are asking residents to uncover the city's hidden gems and history in a series of five surveyNFK virtual community meetings that are being held each Wednesday starting May 26 at 6 p.m.

Historic areas such as St. Paul’s Church, the U.S.S. Wisconsin and the Attucks Theatre are well documented, however, Norfolk knows there are even more out there.

The city is beginning a multi-year investigation into the unknown histories of Norfolk and wants residents to provide their input.

Buildings or sites are considered historic if they are 50 years old or older.
