Discover Lynchburg in every direction. Information about tourism in the city of Lynchburg and the surrounding area

From 1861–1865 Virginia stood at the center of a military and social revolution. How we define freedom, liberty, patriot, and nation today is directly related to the diverse experiences of the individuals who participated in the Civil War. Using original objects, interactive technology, and state-of-the-art audiovisual programs, the 3,000 square-foot exhibition—An American Turning Point—encourages visitors to consider how a single event, separated by 150-years can influence and address the questions of today—what was gained, what was lost, what was undecided, and what was left for us to resolve? 'An American Turning Point' is a signature program of the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission. The exhibition will be at the Lynchburg Museum from July 21 to November 18, 2012.
