About Hillsville, Virginia

Hillsville rests in the embrace of rolling hills, where the Appalachian Mountains begin their slow, majestic descent. It lies 36.8 miles south-south-west of Blacksburg, VA (from Blacksburg, VA: bearing 209°T), and is situated 19.5 miles north-north-west of Mount Airy. The air here carries a crispness, a whisper of pine and damp earth, particularly after a rain, that seems to cling to the very stones of the sidewalks. Fields of corn and tobacco, stitched across the landscape in varying shades of green and gold, give way to the darker, more mysterious depths of hardwood forests that climb the slopes. The sky, a vast canvas, often displays clouds like scattered wool, their shadows drifting across the valley floor, marking the passage of an afternoon with a subtle, profound grace. The spirit of Hillsville is deeply entwined with its agricultural heritage, a legacy of hardworking families who have shaped this land for generations. This soil, rich with the memory of harvests past, continues to sustain a local economy that hums with the quiet industry of farms and small businesses. The echoes of circuit court days, when this was a vital hub for justice and commerce, still linger, a reminder of Hillsville's enduring importance. The annual Old Fiddlers’ Convention, a vibrant testament to the region’s bluegrass roots, draws music lovers from far and wide, filling the air with the lively, intricate melodies that define the soul of this place.
