Lynchburg Museum

We loved this museum! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, the lay out wonderful and not too crowded. It's free which is great and they don't push for donations. But donate to them please! It's a must see in when in Lynchburg. History is always worth the time!

The old city courthouse. Wow! Awesome structure. There's even a piano on the base floor. Antique and historical. Beautiful atmosphere.

Great, free museum in historic court house, containing many artifacts depicting history of lynchburg and really does a great job of capturing the significance of this small moutain town and its role in American history, through the eras. Museum staff were extremely friendly and helpful! Must stop by if you are into history and passing through the area!

This museum is filled with outstanding exhibits which characterize each era of Lynchburg history. There is so much information to take in, well written and sequenced, and thoughtfully laid out. There are parts of each exhibit which cater to different ages, and the staff had two difficulties of scavenger hunts which helps older and younger visitors both have motivation to keep viewing exhibits and keep attention spans longer than they otherwise might endure. A must see if you are traveling outside of northern Virginia and want to learn some history of other parts of the state and how an "average" size town in America in this part of the country evolved over hundreds of years.
