Halifax County Study Tour
8am-8pm
From child to adult, Halifax County offers something for those who wander but are not lost. Once the heart of Virginia’s rich tobacco growing region, it has retained many of its beautiful historic buildings and repurposed them for growth and innovation. As we explore Halifax county, you’ll discover a community, rich in history, beautiful scenic byways and classic country roads. We’ll traverse those roads that lead to beautiful state parks and various attractions, including vineyards, historical landmarks, a renowned international road racing track, one of the nation’s premier NASCAR-sanctioned short tracks, a world-class equestrian ranch, and a craft distillery. With so much around, there’s never a need to travel too far to eat, explore, play, or unwind. It is a special place full of history, character, and charm. Itinerary linked below under view full agenda.
