  • There's a historical marker in Greensboro, NC that says some of the government came there after Danville. (G'boro is right down US HWY 29 maybe 35 miles.) Greensboro was never called a capitol, though.

  • I live in Danville. That's the Last Capital of the Confederacy Monument.... My parents raised it. My dad was president of the HPCA at the time. If u watch the first raising you'll probably see me n my brother running around lol

  • actually this was the 3rd capitol. 1st was in montgomery, alabama and the 2nd was in richmond, virginia.... long live the confederate states of america!

  • Great town indeed. Danville was the THIRD capital (Montgomery, Richmond, Danville). And yes, Danville is close to SWVA, but considered "Southside".

  • I grew up there. It is a beautiful old town. You can hear a Norfolk Southern train whistle blowing in the background and that brings up another fact that Danville was a big and important railroad center for the former Southern Railway. It's also the town where "The Wreck Of The Old 97" happened.

  • thats where i live!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great video! Danville is actually not part of Southwest VA. Its in the region known as 'Southside". its quite different from Appalachia, but it is a lot further west than Richmond.
