A charming, collegiate atmosphere is what you will find here! Home to Longwood University and Hampden-Sydney College, Farmville is an easy drive to metropolitan areas including Lynchburg, Richmond, Charlottesville and Washington, D.C. and less than an hour drive to the Blue Ridge Mountains and a morning drive to the coast!
