We Love Chatham, Virginia
For over 100 years, Hargrave has been a part of the Chatham community. Chatham is a great little town in Southern Virginia and has been the location of the Pittsylvania County seat since 1777.
Campus is within walking distance of downtown Chatham, several restaurants, and a grocery store.
Of special interest to the Cadets is a girls’ boarding school on the opposite side of town!
