The debate on who has the best burger in town will forever be undecided, but what is undebatable is that we have delicious choices.

If you're going for the classic all American roadside burger, then head straight to Dairy Dell right in Riverdale. You cannot beat their nostalgia, taste, and price. Maybe you're looking for more variety, then look no further than JB's Axe & Taphouse. They have a menu catered to the burger fan who wants all the fixins. Last and certainly not the least is Molasses Grill, who makes an inspired burger filled with quality ingredients that puts a gourmet chef's take on the traditional.

Is your mouth watering yet? I know ours is. So, where do you get your favorite burger? Let us know in the comments below. Inquiring minds want to know!

The Southern Region Tourism Directors got a private sneak peek at Halifax County’s newest destination earlier this week, and we are so excited to announce that Wilde Manor officially opens its doors today!

Perfectly positioned between Berry Hill Resort and Springfield Distillery, this exceptional new property brings a highly distinctive, immersive lodging experience to Southern Virginia. Every element of the estate has been meticulously curated, balancing a historic manor setting with an upscale “jungle” design aesthetic.

What truly sets Wilde Manor apart, however, is its dual commitment to hospitality and conservation. Operating as a wildlife refuge, the property will offer guests rare opportunities like teatime with giraffes and animal encounters. We were particularly impressed by the owners’ long-term vision of introducing dedicated wildlife conservation education programs for both visitors and students.

Please join us in welcoming Wilde Manor to the Southern Virginia tourism community. If you are looking to experience a getaway that perfectly blends luxury with wonder, be sure to plan a visit soon. It truly will have you saying, “Penguins, giraffes, and tea, oh my!”

The land we walk on everyday has many stories to tell and at The South Boston - Halifax County Museum of Fine Arts and History and the L. E. Coleman African-American Museum you can discover many of those stories.

On this International Museum Day, we celebrate the storytellers here in our own little historic corner of the world. The ones telling the stories of our communities and the people that got us here.

Including a river crossing that was a turning point in a war that began our country's grand democratic experiment or learn all about the deep roots and contributions of the African-American communities here in the county and the historic schools that helped change the fabric of the families who called this county home.

The South Boston-Halifax County Museum of Fine Arts and History is operated for the collection, exhibition, and preservation of antiques, works of art, books, and physical items which are historically significant to the past, present and future heritage of South Boston, Halifax County and nearby counties.

https://sbhcmuseum.org/

The L. E. Coleman African American Museum began its life as Mountain Road School No. 1, built around 1919 for Black students in the Halifax, VA, community. Following the closing of the school, the building was used for a variety of purposes before it was remodeled and opened to the public as the L.E. Coleman African American Museum in 2005. Its mission is “to research, collect, and preserve the art, history, and culture of African Americans with emphasis on Halifax County, and to foster among people the awareness and perspective from the past and find purpose for the future.”

History is the story of who we are, where we come from, and can potentially reveal where we are headed.

Come by and let us tell you a story or two.
