On the National Register of Historic Places, Fort Early is an American Civil War earthen fort, constructed as part of the outer defenses of Lynchburg under the command of Lt. General Jubal Early. It was critical in the holding of the city during the Battle of Lynchburg. In 1919 a 17-foot granite obelisk was erected to honor the confederate general. Grounds are open year-round from dusk to dawn.

This small fort contains some of the last remaining original earthworks from the Battle of Lynchburg. The Battle of Lynchburg is where General Jubal Early successfully defended the city of Lynchburg from the terrorist marauder David Hunter.
