Mission Statement

To research, record and preserve the heritage and history of the community known as Fox Hill, a peninsula on the Peninsula of Hampton, Virginia.

To honor and remember those who have gone before us that called this once small fishing village, home. Officially noted in the record books since 1625 as Fox Hill.

About the Society

The Fox Hill Historical Society was founded October 13, 2001, and held its first meeting at the Fox Hill Community Center in Fox Hill, Virginia. We meet on the second Saturday of each month for a general business meeting, focused on genealogy and history of Fox Hill and its families past and present.

We currently have a genealogy committee, history committee, and a cemetery committee, that report their activities at our business meetings. All of our committees are open to anyone interested in preserving any of these areas.

Speakers and Presentations

At each meeting, we have guest Speakers consisting of local historians, genealogists, and our own members of the society, who are themselves very knowledgeable about their own families and local history of Fox Hill.

***If you have any suggestions for speakers, please contact us. History@Foxhill.us

We are rapidly branching out to the community, local, state, and the United States. We are currently involved with the preservation of burial grounds in the Fox Hill Community as well as the surrounding areas of Fox Hill.
