The South Rockfish Valley Rural Historic District encompasses a large rural landscape in northern Nelson County, Virginia. It includes more than 1,600 acres (650 ha) of rolling bottomlands of the South Fork Rockfish River, with Virginia State Route 151 as its principal transportation route. This area has been farmed since the 18th century, and many of its early land use patterns persist to this day.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.[1] Properties within the district that were previously listed on the National Register include River Bluff, Elk Hill, Three Chimneys, and the Wintergreen Country Store.[2]
