32 American College Towns That Feel Like Stepping Back in Time
29. Farmville, Virginia: A Town Frozen in Time
Farmville, home to Longwood University, is a little-known but incredibly well-preserved historic town. The town played a key role in the Civil Rights Movement, as the site of a student-led protest that later contributed to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. The town’s classic Main Street, complete with turn-of-the-century buildings and family-owned shops, retains the charm of small-town America. With nearby historic battlefields and rolling farmland, Farmville offers visitors a chance to slow down and embrace the pace of the past.
