The Town of Rocky Mount is set in the beautiful rolling hills of the western Blue Ridge Mountains. Bordered by serene farmlands and majestic forested ridges, Rocky Mount is a thriving small town that has served as the county’s government, service, and business center since its formation in 1786.
The county courthouse is a prominent local landmark. It overlooks a community characterized by gracious churches, vital business districts, charming neighborhoods and winding roads. Rocky Mount is located at a primary crossroads at the geographical center of Franklin County. The town provides services to many smaller rural communities, yet is within easy access to the larger cities of Roanoke Virginia, Greensboro North Carolina and only 20 miles from scenic Smith Mountain Lake.
Beautiful Smith Mountain Lake, known as “Jewel of the Blue Ridge,” is one of the most popular man-made lakes in the United States. It offers fishing, boating, swimming, hunting, camping and hiking. Blessed with an abundance of beauty and natural resources, this area combines its rural character with today’s modern lifestyle to provide residents a wide range of activities and experiences from the uniquely simple to the highly sophisticated.
Named after Benjamin Franklin, Franklin County is known as “The Land Between the Lakes and the Blue Ridge.” Located in the Blue Ridge Highlands region of Virginia, it is also known as an “outdoorsman’s paradise,” a haven for fishermen, hunters, campers and water sports lovers. The county was home to Confederate General Jubal Anderson Early and Booker T. Washington, a slave who became one of the main civil rights activists of his era, lending to some of the many cultural and historic experiences the county offers.
With the Blue Ridge Mountains on the western border of the county, visitors and residents can walk nature trails, camp, ride horseback or travel the Blue Ridge Parkway by car. Philpott Lake, in the southern part of the county, is known for excellent fishing, and Smith Mountain Lake, bordering the county on the east offers a variety of outdoor activity.
Franklin County is a major site along The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail. The Blue Ridge Institute at Ferrum College presents the largest festival of its kind in Virginia — The Blue Ridge Folklife Festival in October. The college also offers plenty of cultural programs, such as plays, concerts and lectures, usually open to the public free of charge.
During Prohibition, local wits named Franklin County the “Moonshine Capital of the World,” a name used today by the local chamber of commerce as a historic identification. Moonshine is still being made in the area. In the 1920s, it was estimated that 99 out of every 100 Franklin County residents were in some way involved in the illegal liquor trade. In 2002, a book was published about The Great Moonshine Conspiracy Trial of 1935 in the Count.
Since the 1980s, much residential development has occurred around Smith Mountain Lake. People live there who commute to Roanoke, Lynchburg, Martinsville, and Danville. Retirees have also moved there and both groups have increased the county’s population. Here you can enjoy the many scenic corners of the community where every side road opens up new vistas, views, and quiet moments for those tired of crowds, long lines, and clutter.
