Living in Heathsville, VA

Heathsville, Virginia, is the epitome of a small town. Its Northumberland Library hosts events and meetings, including book clubs, technology training classes, and children's reading groups. The local farmers market is held once a month from April through October, and is a great place to come together with the community while supporting local businesses and farmers. The farmers market is just one of the community events hosted at Rice's Hotel/Hughlett's Tavern, a restored structure dating back to the 1700s. It contains a historic, renovated blacksmith forge and lies behind the Old Courthouse in Heathsville's Historic District.

The heart of the Heathsville neighborhood is located just a little more than 10 miles from where the Potomac River blends into the Chesapeake Bay, along the Maryland-Virginia border. It's only a short drive—or a pleasant bike ride for cyclists—to the sand and the waves of the bay. Grab a kayak to enjoy the tranquility of the water, or go fishing on one of the many charter fishing boats. It's an idyllic setting, but not too far from city life, since Richmond, Virginia, is just a 70-mile drive west of town.
