Why “Thee?”

Nestled in the heart of Virginia’s rolling hills, surrounded by the New River’s tranquil embrace, Thee Draper Village isn’t just a place—it’s an idea, a feeling, a home. But why “Thee”? Why choose an old-fashioned spelling for a name tied to a modern vision? It’s a question we’ve been asked before, and the answer is rooted deeply in who we are.

In days long past, the word “thee” was used to convey intimacy and reverence. It wasn’t just a word—it was a way to show respect, to acknowledge someone’s unique importance. For us, Draper Village is more than buildings or businesses. It’s a community built on history, a gathering place where stories unfold and connections thrive. Calling it “Thee Draper Village” is our way of honoring this spirit, elevating the village as the place to be—not just any village, but one with purpose and soul.

Using “thee” also connects us to the past, reminding us of a simpler time when neighbors leaned on one another, sharing in both labor and joy. Draper was once a hub of community, where people gathered to can vegetables, dress hogs, and celebrate the rhythms of life. Today, we’ve brought that heritage into the present, creating a space that cherishes those traditions while embracing new possibilities.

But it’s not just about looking back—it’s about standing apart. In a world full of sameness, “Thee” Draper Village dares to be distinctive. It’s a name that stops you in your tracks, piquing curiosity and inviting exploration. It’s a statement: this is a place that matters, where every detail is crafted with care and where you are always welcome.

So, why “Thee”? Because Draper Village is more than just a destination. It’s a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and a promise for the future. It’s where history meets vision, where community thrives, and where every visitor becomes part of the story.

Welcome to Thee Draper Village. We saved a place for you.
