  炎帝神农祠位于石牛峰南侧,相传炎帝南巡湖南,悉药经石牛峰至此,适逢大雨,避之岩洞,误尝断肠草而崩,葬于酃县境内(汉朝的“酃县”指今衡南县境和衡阳市东区一带)。又传此山自神农幸临,每泊灾岁,黎元祈祷,便能风调雨顺,五谷丰登,故山名曰神农山,祠曰炎帝神农祠。

    炎帝神农祠始建于唐贞观十三年,乾隆、咸丰年两度修复。文革期间神农古迹被毁,于1993年重修炎帝神农祠,保持古迹原貌,增其旧制。

  祠堂座东北朝西南,戏台、前殿、二殿、三殿、观音堂均筑于神农山中轴线上。两边厢房有观音殿、大王殿等,祠宇建筑雄伟,工艺精致1996年11月,炎帝神农祠被衡南县人民政府列县级文物保护单位。

    同时,炎帝神农祠还建立了展览厅,展出炎帝的历史和毛泽东的革命历史,被定为衡南县爱国主义教育基地。

    目前,炎帝神农祠整体开发规划正逐步完善,各项配套设施也日益完善,她将成为广大炎皇子孙朝拜先祖、旅游观光的好地方。
