Welcome to the Old West End! We are glad you dropped by.

In 2017, a group of concerned neighbors gathered together in an effort to save the Old West End’s many neglected and at-risk properties, several of which had been slated for demolition. Our goal, at the suggestion and support of the city, was to advertise these homes across the country and even internationally. At the end of that mission, we rescued approximately 60 homes, churches, and other structures and have, as an added benefit, rebuilt a community. In recent years, the organization has turned its focus toward community building and tourism, using the arts and history at its linchpin, with a robust website and blog that provides information to visitors, residents, and those interested in the area’s rich history, providing a library of historic knowledge and resources for Danville residents and tourists alike.

So look around, join us for an event, or stay and have a cup of coffee. There’s lots to see and learn here, both on the website and in Danville’s historic Old West End.
