Planning Your Visit
Amelia County is known for its amethyst and other semi-precious mineral deposits — the Amelia Academy, the historic courthouse, and the Lee's Retreat Civil War driving tour through the county offer interesting companion activities.
A Closer Look
Every year, Amelia Court House hosts the Amelia County Fair, which is an August fair in the Virginia Piedmont, serving the agricultural communities of a rural county just southwest of Richmond where tobacco and livestock farming persist in the shadow of suburban growth.
Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a friendly Piedmont county fair atmosphere.
