Chatham is often referred to as “The Prettiest Little Town in Southside Virginia.” Main Street is lined with large, established trees, lush landscapes, and beautiful historic homes with expansive front porches. Back in the day, those porches served as an open-air parlor for socializing with family and friends, catching cool breezes, and providing a welcoming entry for visitors. Join us on this walking tour as we celebrate the front porches and the landscapes of 19th- and early 20th-century homes, highlighting the architecture and history, and how they still serve as an outdoor room for entertaining and relaxing.
