South Rockfish Valley Rural Historic District (SRVRHD)
Created in 2016, the South Rockfish Valley Rural Historic District (SRVRHD) encompasses approximately 1,600 acres of rich farmland that has been in production since the first half of the 18th century. Many of the original farm buildings and houses can still be viewed today. Its agricultural history includes tobacco cultivation in the 18th and 19th centuries, apple production from the early 20th century to the present, and, currently, cattle farming and viticulture (cultivating grapes). The 1908 Wintergreen Country Store (which houses the RVF Natural History Center) is one of the many buildings in the district listed with the National Register of Historic Places.
The Rockfish Valley Foundation works to protect and educate on the land, air, waters, and living history of the Rockfish Valley. We are volunteer-led and donor-funded. For information on donating or volunteering please visit us at rockfishvalley.org
