Farmville Herald 
 

The Library of Virginia now offers online access to past issues of the Farmville Herald and Farmville-Leader, dating between 1893 and 2010. The Farmville Herald was established in 1890 as a weekly paper to serve Buckingham, Cumberland, and Prince Edward Counties. In 1934, the Farmville Herald merged with the Farmville-Leader to become the Farmville Herald and Farmer-Leader. In 1957, the paper once again became the Farmville Herald

In addition to browsing current paper issues of the Farmville Herald in the library building, patrons can use the link below to view digitized versions of the paper (and many others).
