Nance-Major House and Store is a historic home and country store located across from the Charles City County Courthouse at Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia. The Nance-Major Store was built about 1872, and is a two-story, three-bay, gable-front frame building, supported by a brick pier foundation. The Nance-Major House was built about 1869, and is an "L"-shaped, 2 1/2-half story, post-and-beam-frame dwelling covered with painted horizontal weatherboard. It has a steeply-pitched, front-gabled roof and features a two-story, three-bay, full-width porch. Also located on the property are a contributing smokehouse, a grain barn, a tool shed, and a garage. The store was in operation from 1874 until 1963.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
