In 1754, Prince Edward County was founded in southern Virginia. Today, it stands as the crossroads of the closing days of the American Civil War and the birthplace of America’s fight for civil rights in education. Home to 22,000 citizens, the County offers a rural, progressive lifestyle, two institutions of higher education, a vibrant arts and cultural community, a flourishing downtown shopping district, and a rich abundance of college athletics and outdoor recreational offerings.
