Dinwiddie Court House was built in 1851, though the portico is more recent.
An important action that was the prelude to the Battle of Five Forks was fought here on March 31, 1865, as was a skirmish in the Wilson-Kautz Raid in 1864.
The famous black cabinetmaker Thomas Day was born in Dinwiddie, as was the modiste (and confidant of Mary Lincoln) Elizabeth Keckley. It is also the hometown of Winfield Scott.
I'm not aware of any Civil War significance, but thought this old bank building was neat.
A quiet little country village with lots of history.
