Set in the Southern Piedmont of Virginia and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Henry County is home to major industries, NASCAR Nextel Cup racing, and an unsurpassed quality of life.

Martinsville and Ridgeway are the big towns in Henry County, and there are several other smaller communities.

Even though Henry County is largely rural, with plenty of “huntin,fishin, and racin, there’s plenty of cultural/arts/music opportunities, golf courses, museums, and recreation.

In Henry County, it’s just a short ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Smith Mountain Lake, Philpott Reservoir, Fairystone State Park, and the Smith River. For retirees and the younger generations, Henry County offers small town values, southern hospitality, four lovely seasons, good schools, lots of sports, and easy access to two major cities (Roanoke and Greensboro).
