Tourism offices

Pittsylvania County

2 organizations market this county. Every contact below was checked against the organization’s own website in September 2026.

The state directory lists it as “City of Danville Economic Development”.

Lisa Meriwether, Tourism Manager

The link the state directory publishes for this organization sends readers to a different organization entirely.

Where it says it works

Danville, VA; Pittsylvania County, VA

Verification note

LISTED DOMAIN NOW BELONGS TO A DIFFERENT BODY: discoverdanville.com no longer serves the DMO — it now resolves (via www.discoverdanville.com) to 'Danville & Pittsylvania County Economic Development', a business-attraction site with no visitor content and two offices (420 Memorial Drive, Danville and 1 Center Street, Chatham). The destination marketing organization is now branded Visit SoSi at visitsosi.com, operated by 'Danville's Office of Economic Development & Tourism'. A third, older tourism site — experiencedpc.com, 'DPC Tourism / Experience DPC, the official tourism website for Danville and Pittsylvania County' — is still live and publishes no phone or email; treat it as legacy. EMAIL DIFFERS: Lisa Meriwether's address is now lisa.meriwether@visitsosi.com, not @discoverdanville.com; general address info@visitsosi.com. Phone 434-793-1753 confirmed. Visitor Center: 645 River Park Drive, Danville, VA 24540, 434-793-4636.

Andy Bruns, Executive Director

Where it says it works

Smith Mountain Lake and the surrounding region. The organization's own page states: "Three scenic counties surround the lake - Bedford, Franklin and Pittsylvania." Offices and visitor center at Bridgewater Plaza, 16430 Booker T. Washington Hwy, Suite 2, Moneta, VA 24121.

Verification note

Phone and general email match the state listing. The staff page lists him as "Andy Bruns," not "Andrew Bruns" as the state directory had it; his direct address abruns@visitsmithmountainlake.com is published but the general info@ address is preferred here. Other staff: Alyssa Eads (Membership Director & Events Manager), Baylie Kelley (Member Services, Marketing & Leadership Academy Coordinator), Ed Conant (Weekend Supervisor). Coverage matches the state's three-county assignment.
