Lost Communities of Virginia Southside Driving Tour

Virginia's back roads and rural areas are dotted with traces of once-thriving communities. General stores, train depots, schools, churches, banks, and post offices provide intriguing details of a way of life now gone.  The Lost Communities of Virginia Southside Driving Tour will give people the opportunity to explore a sampling of Virginia’s back roads and bring people through parts of Appomattox, Charlotte, Halifax, Pittsylvania, and Campbell Counties.  The route is designed as a loop so that people can jump on the route from a multitude of locations.

Once completed, the brochure will be available both as a downloadable pdf on the CDAC website and in print at local chambers of commerce and visitors centers throughout the five featured counties.
