FANCY HILL

The office portion was finished in January 2025. We expect the main house to be completed in the late spring or early summer of 2025. But don’t worry, the office is open to visitors. Please see the above section to make an appointment.

Fancy Hill will serve as the permanent Headquarters of The Generals Redoubt, showing our strong commitment to defending our alma mater. But Fancy Hill will also serve as a center for student and alumni engagement, a space to host Founders Day celebrations, historic events, and academic programs. We are only just beginning to see this home’s potential, and we welcome your suggestions.

The first portion of Fancy Hill — the South-most side — was built in 1821. However, an earlier structure stood on site as early as the 1780s. Over time, in 1831, 1840, and 1936, the home grew into the building we recognize today.

Fancy Hill is located at 3719 S. Lee Hwy, Glasgow VA 24450. The home is one of the original Seven Hills of Rockbridge, and sits about 7 miles South of Lexington. While the original property stood on over 400 acres of farmland, Fancy Hill now rests on a modest 22 acres, situated between I-81 and Rt. 11.
