Danville, Virginia

By Clara Garrett Fountain

Since its incorporation in 1833, Danville has proved one of the Old Dominion State s most interesting and historic cities, ranging from its brief stint as the last capital during the waning hours of the Confederacy, to its role as a major tobacco and textile producer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to the city s infamous disasters, such as the wreck of the Old 97. In these images, readers will journey back into the Danville of yesteryear and explore many elements of the city s past: its historic churches along Main Street, its stunning Victorian and Edwardian architectural treasures along Millionaires Row, and many of the city s most recognizable structures, including schools, businesses, and early government buildings.
