Lynchburg

Since its beginning as a ferry crossing in 1757, the city of Lynchburg has covered the hills that rise above the James River. A community that has managed to successfully blend its past with the best that the present has to offer, Lynchburg is truly the "Heart of Virginia." Holding doctorates in history, authors Dorothy T. and Clifton W. Potter Jr. have spent their professional careers teaching at Lynchburg College.
