The home of an American historical figure offers a quaint lifestyle between two rivers

Rural • Affordable • Quiet • Fishing • Historic •

Nestled between Roanoke River and Staunton River, Brookneal is a small town with old-fashioned charm. Brookneal is best known for being one of the late homes of Patrick Henry, a patriot remembered for his speech before the 1775 Virginia Convention where he shouted, “Give me liberty or give me death!” This historic town maintains a quaint feel with affordable to upscale rentals for every age and lifestyle. Since Brookneal has access to two rivers, residents love to spend free time fishing or canoeing. Brookneal is truly an oasis in the countryside, but if you ever want to go on a day trip to bigger cities, Roanoke, Lynchburg, and Richmond are about a 2-hour drive away.
