In August, 2023, the heritage area changed its legal name from Annapolis, London Town & South County Heritage Area, Inc. (ALTSCHA, Inc.) to Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area, Inc.
In October 2021, ALTSCHA marked its 20-Year Anniversary of Certification as one of Maryland’s Heritage Areas. On this page, we share some of our most notable achievements over the years, including video links, grant funding, and milestones over the years.
