LYNCHBURG HISTORICAL MUSEUM
The Lynchburg Historical Museum was organized by the Woman's Club of
Lynchburg in 1933, and opened to the public on 15 December 1934. A room in City Hall
was offered by City Council for this purpose.
During World War II, the museum was closed and its contents were stored in the Fort
Hill Fire Station. After several attempts to reopen, and with the Woman's Club giving up
the project, the new museum housed in the old Court House finally reopened on 16
November 1963. It was sponsored by the Lynchburg Historical Society.
Today, the City of Lynchburg through the Department of Libraries and Museums
operates the museum.
LYNCHBURG HISTORICAL FOUNDATION, INC.
The Lynchburg Historical Foundation, Inc. was formed in 1972, out of the merger of
the Lynchburg Historical Society and the Historic Lynchburg Foundation. The
Lynchburg Historical Society had been formed in 1934 out of the desire of several
Lynchburg organizations to preserve the Miller-Claytor House.
Historic Lynchburg Foundation was founded in 1967, and adopted as its first project

LYNCHBURG HISTORICAL MUSEUM
The Lynchburg Historical Museum was organized by the Woman's Club of
Lynchburg in 1933, and opened to the public on 15 December 1934. A room in City Hall
was offered by City Council for this purpose.
During World War II, the museum was closed and its contents were stored in the Fort
Hill Fire Station. After several attempts to reopen, and with the Woman's Club giving up
the project, the new museum housed in the old Court House finally reopened on 16
November 1963. It was sponsored by the Lynchburg Historical Society.
Today, the City of Lynchburg through the Department of Libraries and Museums
operates the museum.
LYNCHBURG HISTORICAL FOUNDATION, INC.
The Lynchburg Historical Foundation, Inc. was formed in 1972, out of the merger of
the Lynchburg Historical Society and the Historic Lynchburg Foundation. The
Lynchburg Historical Society had been formed in 1934 out of the desire of several
Lynchburg organizations to preserve the Miller-Claytor House.
Historic Lynchburg Foundation was founded in 1967, and adopted as its first project
the restoration of Point of Honor.
