Fancy Hill is a historic home located near Glasgow, Rockbridge County, Virginia. 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 about 1840. A 1 1/2-story brick wing was added in 1936, when the house was renovated. The property also includes the contributing large gabled two-story barn, equipment garage, and small shed.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
The home currently hosts a small Santa Claus Museum that can be toured during the winter holiday season. It has a wide variety of Saint Nicholas characters from multiple international regions and eras.
