Collinsville blends everyday convenience with easygoing Southern pace as the seat of Henry County. Set along the Smith River corridor, it offers quick access to groceries, healthcare, and local eateries, plus a straight shot to neighboring Martinsville. Culture and learning are close at hand thanks to the renowned Virginia Museum of Natural History, which anchors field trips, family days, and special exhibits year-round.
Outdoorsy weekends are a way of life. Residents stroll, run, and cycle the scenic Dick & Willie Passage Rail Trail, a paved greenway threading through woodlands and town centers. Tournament play, youth leagues, and community festivals pack the calendar at the expansive Smith River Sports Complex. When the engines roar at the iconic Martinsville Speedway, locals enjoy the excitement of big-time racing with an easy local commute and the option to slip back to quiet streets afterward.
Families appreciate the supportive approach of Henry County Public Schools, known for career readiness, STEM opportunities, and strong extracurriculars. Housing ranges from tidy brick ranches on tree-lined streets to newer builds near major corridors, and many homes offer generous yards. With manageable commutes along U.S. 220 Business, a reasonable cost of living, and year-round recreation, Collinsville offers a practical, welcoming base for first-time buyers, move-up households, and downsizers alike.
