The Flint Hill Historic District is located in northern Rappahannock County. The district arose as a crossroads community beginning in the 1740s and was established in 1843 by an act of the General Assembly. During the next century, the community grew into a thriving regional village. The compact, linear-shaped historic district includes residential dwellings, retail and agricultural buildings such as apple-packing sheds, and schools and churches, all representing the village’s development and exhibiting a variety of popular architectural styles such as Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate and Craftsman.
