Hardy is an unincorporated community lying both in Bedford County and Franklin County, Virginia, United States, about twenty miles southeast of Roanoke. The Booker T. Washington National Monument commemorates where Booker T. Washington was born in 1856. Hardy, VA is home of Windy Gap mountain, which also contains Windy Gap Mountain Village. The village is a small neighborhood at the top of the mountain. The houses are elegant yet homey with a log cabin style to them. This is a very tight-knit community.
The Booth-Lovelace House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[2]
