| Despite playing a crucial part in the Civil War, Danville emerged unscathed by the conflict. As a result, Danville is home to many national historic places and landmarks. Downtown, visitors can explore renovated Main Street shops. On Millionaire's Row, tours of sprawling mansions and the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History attract history buffs. Railroads became a crucial part of the Danville infrastructure after the completion of the 1856 rail connecting Danville to Richmond, VA. The Amtrak Crescent station still operates in Danville, connecting it to major cities across the U.S., such as New York and Atlanta. Because Danville is situated on the Dan River - and thus the name - it is surrounded by fertile farming lands, making it an ideal area for growing tobacco. In the 18th century, Danville became a major regional exporter, as tobacco sales boosted the economy and spurred growth. Danville is also home to Averett University, a private Baptist college with just fewer than 3,000 students. Averett was initially a woman's college, but expanded to co-educational in 1969.
