Things To Do
Home to notable moments in American history, several colleges and incredible scenic beauty, this region of Virginia holds a special place in locals’ hearts. A host of theaters, museums, and art galleries showcase the area's heritage and creativity while students from around the country descend on the “City of Seven Hills” for its strong academic presence. More than 40 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places pay homage to the city's tobacco farming, Quaker and Civil War roots. The Point of Honor historic mansion and gardens provide peeks into 19th century Lynchburg life while Amazement Square’s interactive children's museum keeps young ones engaged. Operating since 1783, the Lynchburg Community Market is one of the oldest continuously running markets in the country selling local produce, crafts and artisanal treasures. Jaunts along the James River Heritage Trail reveal opportunities for hiking, biking and picnicking and the Blue Ridge Parkway is a must-take leisurely drive.
