Explore Prince Edward County, Virginia

Welcome to Prince Edward County, where the Civil War meets the Civil Rights Movement. We look forward to meeting you in our shops, on our streets, and especially in the Heartland Regional Visitor Center located at 121 East Third Street, one block off Main Street, in downtown Farmville. 

The Heart of Virginia and the Heart of Your Adventure, whether that be Civil War, Civil Rights, Outdoor Adventures, or Heritage Travel, we've got it covered!  The last hours of the American Civil War came through the area, followed by the very beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement.  Three Virgina State Parks, Briery Creek Wildlife Management Area, Sandy River Reservoir, and The Outdoor Adventure Park - the largest aerial obstacle course and zip line in Virginia can all be found within our borders.  Add to that a vibrant and growing downtown Farmville, and you can't beat the opportunities.

Come on down to see us.  We'll be waiting right here!
