Lynchburg, Virginia has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1786. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and near the James River, the city began as a trade center and hub for the tobacco industry. Its citizens were wealthy and some of their elegant southern homes are meticulously maintained today. Thomas Jefferson built a retreat known as Poplar Forest here and it is open to the public. The historic Old City Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 2,000 Confederate soldiers from 14 states. The area draws many history buffs and several hotels and motels welcome those traveling with their pets.
