The Langhorne House Museum, located in Danville, VA, is a historic site originally built in 1874 by C. D. Langhorne. Once the birthplace of Lady Astor, the first woman to serve in the British Parliament, the house has been preserved by the Lady Astor Preservation Foundation and now showcases original artifacts and changing exhibits.

The building is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as a cultural landmark in the community.
