Historic District Walking Tour

By foot or by car, Lynchburg’s seven historic districts are a must-see. These prosperous neighborhoods sprang up in Lynchburg during the 19th Century when tobacco tycoons, doctors, and attorneys made Lynchburg the wealthiest city in the nation for its size. The impressive Queen Ann and Federal-style mansions offer both an educational experience and unparalleled delight for the lovers of history and architecture. A self-guided walking tour brochure is available at the Lynchburg Visitor Information Center.
