CHAMBER Welcome

A

s the Executive Director of the Farmville Area Chamber of Commerce, I would like to extend the warmest welcome to anyone reading this community guide. We are excited to showcase our lovely community, our fantastic Chamber members, and all that we have to offer. The Chamber’s mission is to strive to improve the lives of those living and doing business in our community, and we hope this magazine will showcase the abundance of opportunities we have here in our area.

We have seen some nice growth over the past few years, and downtown Farmville is the home of some unique boutique shopping, delicious dining and evening entertainment. It is also the home to several events such as the Heart of Virginia Festival and the Virginia Children’s Book Festival, which is the largest book festival for children on the east coast! Farmville still has its small town charm with our Christmas tree lighting and parade, weekend family outdoor movie nights in the summer, and live music on the plaza. We are also very proud of our distinction of being the country’s first two-college town, and our surrounding counties all benefit from the activities and culture that collegiate life brings.

Be sure to visit the RR Moton Museum where everyone can learn about how our community helped shape education as we know it today.

Our Chamber is thriving and we recently celebrated our 70th anniversary. We are continually looking for ways to address the needs of our members and community.

O

ur area, known as Virginia’s Heartland, is rich in history that tells a story of courage and perseverance. Located in the Heart of Virginia, the Farmville Area includes the Town of Farmville, the County of Cumberland and the County of Prince Edward.

Prince Edward County dates to 1754; Cumberland County to 1749; and the Town of Farmville to 1798. Farmville soon became the center of trade, education, law and finance for the surrounding seven counties, a position it maintains today, as the largest municipality between Richmond and Lynchburg. It is home to many successful businesses, industries, and cultural and educational organizations.

Hampden-Sydney College, a selective private four-year college, was founded in 1776; Longwood University, chartered in 1839 as Farmville Female Seminary, was the first state teacher training college in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Patrick Henry, five-time Governor of Virginia, served as Prince Edward’s representative in the Virginia General Assembly. As the county’s representative, he participated with John Randolph in debates over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.

The first call for independence came from Cumberland County; when the certainty of the approaching conflict came, Cumberland led the Colonies in calling for a completely independent American nation. On April 22, 1776, from the balcony of Effingham Tavern, Carter H. Harrison read the committee’s instruction to the county delegates to the state convention: “We therefore, your constituents, instruct you positively to declare for an Independency, that you solemnly adjure any allegiance to His Britannic Majesty and bid him a good night forever …” The Virginia Convention decided to follow Cumberland’s

HISTORY lead, and this resulted in the Virginian Resolutions, which were presented to the Continental Congress and embodied in the Declaration of Independence.

The Civil War left its mark on Farmville, with its last major battle at nearby Sailor’s Creek.

On April 6, 1876, just three days before the surrender at Appomattox Court House, nearly a quarter of General Lee’s army – more than 7,700 men – were killed, wounded or captured at the Battle of Sailor’s Creek. Lee then retreated directly through the town, and the Confederates crossed and then attempted to burn the railroad’s impressive High Bridge, a 120-foot-high, nearly half-mile-long span across the Appomattox River. The bridge and other sites along Lee’s Retreat are part of the state’s Civil War Trails.

Farmville is also home to some key players in the early fight for civil rights. In 1951, in Farmville, Virginia, 16-year-old Barbara Johns bravely organized and inspired her fellow 450 students to walk out of school and protest the overcrowded and inadequate conditions at Prince Edward County’s all-black Robert Russa Moton High School. This strike launched a 13 year struggle for better educational opportunities in Prince Edward County that emblematized the youth-driven efforts for civil rights across the United States.

The original court case, Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County, that arose from the strike was one of the five cases decided by the Supreme Court in its 1954 Brown v.

Board of Education decision. It was the only case initiated by students. This citizens’ crusade for equal rights in education drew Martin Luther King Jr. and other national leaders to visit our area. The Robert Russa Moton High School, site of the 1951 student strike, is a National Historic Landmark, a civil rights museum, and the centerpiece of Virginia’s Civil

Rights in Education Heritage Trail, honoring the efforts of local students and citizens who paved the way for integrated public education nationwide.

A marker at the county courthouse titled “The Light of Reconciliation,” acknowledges the county’s racial history and makes the promise to prevent any future inequalities from taking place in the county. The story of civil rights in Prince Edward County and Virginia teaches people about the capacity of everyday, local people to use their constitutional rights to create lasting social change. w

HISTORIC PLACES Seven historic buildings and two historic districts in the County of Prince Edward are listed on the Virginia Register of Historic Places: • Briery Church was constructed in 1760 and was the first structure in Prince Edward to be listed on the Virginia Historic Register. (Route 747 – Briery Church Road) • Robert Russa Moton Museum, 900 Griffin Boulevard in Farmville • First Baptist Church, 100 South Main Street, Farmville • Debtor’s Prison, U.S. Route 15 • Old Prince Edward County Clerks’ Office now known as Worsham Clerk’s Office, served as the first clerk’s office at Prince Edward Courthouse.

hether it’s the unique bridge that suspends hundreds of feet in the air, ample fishing and hiking opportunities or numerous workout class options, Farmville has no shortage of recreation opportunities.

The Sandy River Reservoir, spanning 740 acres and just a short drive from Farmville, offers a wealth of fishing and boating opportunities.

Largemouth bass, black crappie, redear sunfish, bluegill, chain pickerel and catfish can be found at this reservoir.

PARKS The region has a number of memorable state parks.

Historic Twin Lakes State Park is 548-acres and includes a 33-site campground and 11 climate-controlled cabins for overnight stays.

There’s also swimming, fishing, hiking, boating and lakeside picnicking. The Cedar Crest Conference Center on Prince Edward Lake is a great site for weddings, family gatherings, retreats and business meetings.

EDUCATION LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY Longwood University is one of America’s hundred-oldest colleges and universities, and Virginia’s third-oldest public institution, following only William & Mary and the University of Virginia. A public liberal arts university of about 5,000 students, Longwood has a distinctive mission: to shape citizenleaders.

Routinely ranked in the top 10 regional public universities by U.S. News & World Report, Longwood has grown from its roots as a small all-women college focused on teacher preparation into a full-scale university widely recognized for its focus on undergraduate research opportunities, forward-thinking Civitae Core Curriculum and student access to faculty.

The historic 60-acre central campus in downtown Farmville has witnessed some of the most critical events in American history. The final hours of the Civil War played out along High Street on the north end of campus, and in 1951, the south end of campus witnessed the student-led birth of the modern civil rights movement, with the student strike at the then all-black Moton School. Today, Moton 18

S

enior citizens in the Farmville area are well served by multiple organizations, whether they are living at a retirement community or receiving support so they can live independently.

The Woodland has grown quite a bit over almost 50 years, from a 60-bed nursing facility to a senior care community that provides a continuum of care including independent living cottages, independent assisted-living, and long-term care, as well as a rehabilitation and a wellness center.

What hasn’t changed is the deep roots The Woodland has in the Farmville region. The high level of skilled professional care is
