About Friends of the Old West End

Friends of the Old West End ensures a healthy and vibrant community by connecting homeowners, residents, and local businesses, and by supporting their efforts to preserve and elevate the rich history, architecture, character, and diversity in the Old West End (OWE) National Historic District of Danville, Virginia.

Friends of the Old West End is a nonprofit 501(c)3 community organization.  Membership dues and donations are 100% tax deductible.

The name of the organization is ambiguous by intent.  You can be a friend of the OWE because you live there.  You can be a friend because you have an appreciation for the historic district.  You can be a friend because you support the organization’s projects and programs – like this website.  You can be a friend of the OWE because you enjoy the social contact – the events and community gatherings.  Or it might be all of the above.

Please visit or our organization’s membership website for additional information, meetings, events, or to become a Friend of the Old West End.
