Whether you are planning a riverfront getaway or exploring Central Virginia, Scottsville is a perfect base for visiting Monticello, Charlottesville, and the surrounding countryside. The town offers one-of-a-kind historic architecture, a range of restaurants from pizza to fine dining, easy James River access for tubing or kayaking, guided walking or fishing tours, antique shops, live music, and visual art.

Drop by the Scottsville Museum as part of your Virginia Civil War Trails driving tour to learn how the town’s mills, warehouses, and canals supported the war effort. Expand your visit to Monticello by traveling through the same countryside Thomas Jefferson crossed on his way to court at Scott’s Landing, and explore nearby Walton’s Mountain, home of the television series The Waltons.

Locals had plenty to say when asked, “What’s there to do in Scottsville?”—from well-known favorites to hidden gems. Start your trip with this “36 Hours in Scottsville” itinerary or design your own visit using local merchant listings and the Scottsville Community Chamber of Commerce events calendar.
