Danville is located in south central Virginia
on the Virginia and North Carolina border. The
Dan River flows through the heart of Danville
on its path from the Blue Ridge mountains to the
Kerr Reservoir just 55 miles east of the city.
Danville is 180 miles from the East Coast and
just 50 miles east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Danville
is within a days drive to more than two thirds
of the U.S. population.
At approximately 500 feet above
sea level and protected from harsh weather extremes
by the nearby mountains, Danville enjoys four
distinct seasons.
The downtown central business
district has ample restaurants and shopping, plus
financial, professional, and government services.
The Amtrak train station, farmers market, science
museum, auctioneer’s park, public library,
Crossing of the Dan nature trail, Danville Chamber
of Commerce, and a European flavor coffee shop
are all downtown.
The area also offers biking/hiking
trails, golf and public parks for the outdoor
enthusiasts and a host of museums and historical
