Capron, VA

Tucked into Southampton County, Capron is a small, quiet community in the heart of southern Virginia’s peanut and timber country. The town grew up in the late 1800s around local sawmills and agriculture, and you can still see that history along Main Street in its classic Victorian-era homes. Life here is peaceful and unhurried, with a friendly, tight-knit feel where neighbors know each other and local farming roots run deep.
