Amelia Court House is the small-town center of Amelia County, where courthouse-era architecture and front-porch living meet wide-open Piedmont landscapes. Residents enjoy a commuter-friendly route along U.S. 360 to Richmond, while nearby Chesterfield County and Powhatan County expand options for shopping, healthcare, and employers. The historic village core hosts community gatherings and seasonal events, with local businesses and the county fairgrounds adding to the area’s easygoing pace.
Outdoor time here is exceptional. Civil War history and scenic walking trails converge at Sailor’s Creek Battlefield State Park, complete with a visitor center and interpretive programs from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. Explore miles of car-free gravel at High Bridge Trail State Park, a favorite for biking, running, and family outings. Hunters, anglers, and birders value the accessible fields, impoundments, and woodlands at the Amelia Wildlife Management Area, managed by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.
Families are served by Amelia County Public Schools, known for close-knit classrooms, robust athletics, and career and technical opportunities that connect learning to life. Housing ranges from classic farmhouses on acreage to new construction on quiet roads, with quick trips for big-box necessities and a laid-back weekend in Farmville always within reach.
