Fancy Hill

Fancy Hill is a historic home located near Glasgow, Rockbridge County, Virginia, United States. The house was built in two phases, the first about 1821 and the second about 1831. The result is a two-story, eight-bay, Federal-style brick dwelling. Front and back two-story porches and two small rooms at the back of the house were added circa the 1840s. A 1½-story brick wing was added in 1936, when the house was renovated and back porch enclosed. The property also includes the contributing large gabled two-story barn, equipment garage, and small shed.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

The home previously hosted a small Santa Claus museum that was toured during the winter holiday season, and is now privately owned.
