Historic Petersburg: Virginia’s Best Kept Secret.
“Just down the hill from Virginia State University lies one of the true treasures of the Commonwealth (of Virginia). Petersburg is a centuries old city that has survived so much, but its majestic homes stand proud to tell its history…”
This video from 2013 was provided courtesy of VSU Today. Although produced several years ago, it still captures the essence of Petersburg today. However, much of the ownership and some useage of the homes have changed. These include:
- The High Street Inn has a new owner and no longer operates as an inn.
- The Thomas Wallace House is under new ownership and is now operated as an Airbnb.
- The McIllwaine House is rented out for private parties and corporate events.
