History
Pamplin is the home of a Clay Pipe Factory, formerly the largest clay pipe factory in the United States. It is located to the side of Business 460. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1980.[1] The Buffalo Presbyterian Church was listed on the NRHP in 1995.[1]
This town was a stop on the Southside Railroad in the mid-19th century. This became the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad in 1870 and then a line in the Norfolk and Western Railway and now the Norfolk Southern Railway.[2] The rail line from Burkville to Pamplin City was converted by Virginia Department of Parks and Recreation into High Bridge Trail State Park.
Previously, the High Bridge Trail ended at Heights School Road approximately one mile from the town. In a partnership with The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Appomattox and Prince Edward Counties the Town has been able to have trail extended into the corporate limits and end within walking distance of the Main Street business district. This project has been vital to the economic redevelopment and revitalization efforts of the town. The Pamplin trail extension was opened April 22, 2024.[3]
