Overview. Formed by volcanic intrusion, the fertile grassland of central Virginia's western Piedmont region has attracted farmers since colonization of the eastern seaboard began. Green Springs National Historic Landmark District contains many original examples of rural Virginia architecture, usually associated with small-scale farming. The man-made structures blend in with the natural landscape and preserve the history of rural Virginia. Encompassing the entire region, this district represents a new kind of park. Visitors can observe the harmonious interaction of human beings and nature on its 14,000 acres of mostly private property.What to see and do. You can pick up information at the office in Louisa, but there is no visitor center. Organized groups can arrange a special tour. Otherwise, you tour this district on your own by car. Many public roads, some of them gravel, twine through the area. Drive along carefully and look around at the homes and farms nestled among hills, meadows, and streams. Except for 9,000 acres of easements, all property is privately owned, and there are no public facilities such as picnic areas.
