Convenient to several major markets, Raleigh-Durham is 1.5 hours south, Roanoke 1.5 hours west, Lynchburg and Charlottesville 1 and 2 hours north. 45 minutes south and Danville Municipal offers daily flights. We recently celebrated our 200th Anniversary and marked several historical events. Lady Astor, first woman member of Parliament and known for her verbal sparring with Winston Churchill was born here. Today, Danville and nearby Pittsylvania County is a thriving area of about 65,000 people.
Most winters are relatively short and any snowfall quickly disappears.
Danville Community College also offers programs ranging from industrial work to college transfer. On a historical note, the worldwide practice of decorating evergreens with handmade symbols of Jesus, known as Chrismon , originated here. Patriotism abounds here and people are quite self sufficient. If you have a small town background, you'll find we have values like yours.
