Gretna

Gretna stands along the U.S. Route 29 corridor in Virginia’s Piedmont, a position that has long connected the town with Lynchburg to the north and Danville to the south. The Staunton River runs north of Gretna, while the town itself is set among the region’s low wooded hills and farmland. This is a compact community rooted in the rural character of south-central Virginia rather than a major urban centre. Pittsylvania County, created in 1767, adds a colonial-era layer to the area’s story; its county seat is Chatham.
