Welcome to Northern Chesapeake Heritage!

What We Do

The Northern Chesapeake Heritage Foundation (NCHF) is a 501c3 non-profit, with a two-fold mission dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Northern Chesapeake Bay region and to support and honor our military men and women in uniform.  Our mission is also to identify and honor all veterans who have gone before us but lie forgotten in unmarked graves or rest among the missing and lost around the globe.

If you would like to honor your veteran ancestor on our website, or need assistance in obtaining a marker, please contact us
