On this 160th anniversary of the Battle of Lynchburg, we reflect on the event and its significance in local history.

The Lynchburg Museum’s Art & Artisans gallery has recently been updated with a new exhibit highlighting a selection of works in local artistry and craftsmanship ranging from portraits to purses to foundry-cast ducks. The exhibit includes objects of both visual and historic interest and celebrates some of Lynchburg’s most notable artists, craftspeople, and industries, including the Virginia Art Goods Studios.
