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. If not, it’s close. The preservation of 18th and early 19th century homes here is astounding, when you know portions of these homes could be going on 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 also takes you past two antebellum churches, the 1828 Masonic Hall, the Courthouse and the Clerk’s office, which both date from 1839. Enjoy the tour for a journey back in time. Click here for local map.
