What's the best part of raising a family in Martinsville-Henry County?

"The best part of raising a family in Martinsville-Henry County is the pace and quality of life.  I believe my children are receiving a strong education in our public school system, and they stay busy with after-school activities, dance, and church activities.  There is much to do in Martinsville-Henry County and we are busy most every weekend." 

Where do you go to enjoy Martinsville-Henry County's arts-and-entertainment scene? 

"I enjoy the beautiful, hand-crafted work of artisans on display at The Artisan Center, which is a program of Patrick Henry Community College.  My children also enjoyed taking classes and summer camps there.  We also enjoy the plays and programs of Theatre Works and Piedmont Arts."
