Don't forget that Desmond Doss, whose life is portrayed in the Mel Gibson movie Hacksaw Ridge and he's played by Andrew Garfield was from Lynchburg.

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Excellent reminder! Thank you!

[@rodmunch7278]

This will be the epicenter of the next Grunge movement.

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Ha!! Awesome.

[@LydK443]

I love Lynchburg and I miss it!

[@Erikthetravelguy]

[@loissawyer4208]

Took my kids here. I really had fun more than they did.

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Ha! That sounds about right!

[@MooPotPie]

Two of my favorite spots are the gorgeous 1920s Paramount Theater on Main Street and the Williams Viaduct, a marvel of bridge engineering. Haven't been there in years. Hope to visit soon.

My G X 5 - Grandfather discovered Lynchburg, VA. My Mother did vast genealogy research before the Home Computer era. Must get to this city for an experience of my lineage. 💚🍀💚

[@nickroberts6984]

That's not the room where Lee surrendered to Grant. 🇺🇸 The original McLean house is long gone and what you see there is a reconstruction of it. Still a one-of-a-kind, awesome place on Earth !

[@alanbstard9301]

Really laughed quite hard at certain points, you've got a great sense of humor. And I'm really hankering after one of those Cheesy Westerns! Going to see if I can find me one here in 'Schland, wish me luck

Momunent Terrace: When the first attacks on Afghanatan to defeat the taliban were in progress, a group of anit- war protestors formed and at the base of momument terrace. Veterans got together obtained a permit and started a "Support our troops" counter protest. Every Friday (even Christmas and snow, rain or heat) Lynchburg remains loyal to our vets. Over 1000 weeks the vets are supported, momunent terrace a must see, first Korean memorial in the states.

Cali girl, now in AZ and have been thinking of moving to Lynchburg. Is racism bad? I just want to live in peace and enjoy the beautiful views lol

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Janet, Lynchburg def. has the views!

[@BorninVirginia]

There are some racist people but for the most part racism is not bad.

[@TheHopkinsLacrosse]

another great thing to do is take a kayak or canoe and either go fishing or just riding at the james river(downtown lynchburg)

[@leticiaurbach1720]

Is it a good place to retire?

[@aternst]

Yes. Great place for a family and great place to retire!

[@Onlymusical]

@Rao665 Actually, Bedford and Appomattox are both pretty close. The truth is that the one thing everybody who goes to that region must do, assuming they're not Civil War buffs, is climb Peaks of Otter in the very nearby mountains (a bus can take you up most of the way if you prefer).

[@prasanty46]

I have been there on July 2011, so memorable

[@freddymarcel-marcum6831]

I had a cheesy Western sent to me in Czech Republic, it was worth it.

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Freddy Marcel-Marcum that is awesome! I remember this shoot like it was yesterday!

[@SilverMagicWolfy]

All the "must sees" are more than like 40 minutes away. lmao

[@MrBluntBuddy]

Im from here. Shit aint as glamorous as this gringo makin it seem

[@luckyrail23]

I think at tha cemetery u showed my dad actually dated the owners daughter or he said so.

[@Erikthetravelguy]

+Bengal Cats awesome factoid! Thank you!

[@Onlymusical]

Wonder what in god's name could possibly be in the "Lynchburg Museum?" I went to the Portland Museum in Oregon and it consisted of mock-ups of Indian teepees and Zorro lunchboxes. Lynchburg's might prove even more interesting.

[@pos6666666]

Great video

[@Countrymusicnumber1]

A lot of lynching going on there?

[@doctorj9700]

Countrymusicnumber1 ur an idiot. It was named after John Lynch who created a ferry system across the James river

[@artism.callaham938]

Maybe? But that is not what the town is named after. John Lynch was a businessman who owned the Ferry.

[@BorninVirginia]

The founder name was John Lynch and there is very little history of that happening in the city

[@Techie-time]

Lynchburg..where you will be reminded that racism is always present...the local are average but they think they are greatest on earth... they would behave like a bigotted but they would expect you to tell them..ooo how good you are..lol

[@doctorj9700]

ch012 how are people racist there and how do they make themselves feel like higher archery than others

[@markvaders1523]

I've visited Lynchburg many, many times over the last 16 years and have found people to be very friendly and polite. Don't know where you went, but it was obviously not the Lynchburg I know.

[@Techie-time]

@@markvaders1523 I lived there for 2 years and worked there...
