The Berry Hill Resort & Conference Center, Virginia’s premier wedding venue, resort and conference center, is nestled amongst a tree-lined forest covering 700 acres in the heart of historic South Boston, Virginia. This National Historic Landmark welcomed its first guests to the beautiful Virginia countryside in 1728. 

 

About three miles west of South Boston, on the north side of the Dan River, an inconspicuous farm road turns south off the River Road. The half-mile drive, once lined with stately ailanthus trees, now all but gone, ends at a mossy stone wall enclosing a shady park of some thirty acres, in the center of which, riding the crest of a low hill, stands “Berry Hill,” the majestic home of the Bruces.

The completeness of the property's composition is remarkable. It is even more remarkable that a house of such grandeur should so long have remained almost totally unknown outside the Halifax County area. The reason for this seems to be its remoteness from the other great mansions of the Commonwealth.

Justly acclaimed as the finest example of domestic Greek Revival architecture in the United States, Berry Hill was chosen in 1968 for inclusion in the book, Architecture in Virginia, commissioned by then Governor Mills Godwin.
