Halifax

As you enter Halifax, it may feel like you’ve stepped back into antebellum Virginia, with the gentility of its curving roads, flowering trees and serene landscape. Some say Halifax is the prettiest historic town in Virginia. The preservation of 18th and early 19th century homes here is astounding, considering that portions of these homes are close to 250 years old. Plantings at many of the homes date from the 1840s, with many of the original trees having survived as well. In addition to residences, the walking tour of Mountain Road takes you past two antebellum churches, the 1828 Masonic Hall, the Courthouse and the Clerk’s office, both of which date from 1839.
