Lynchburg in US Airways Magazine!

Rich in history and natural beauty, and flanked by the Blue Ridge Parkway, Lynchburg, Virginia, and the four counties surrounding it — Bedford, Amherst, Appomattox, and Campbell — draw visitors from around the world. They flock to sites such as the majestic Peaks of Otter and the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford; to Patrick Henry’s estate, Red Hill, in Campbell; to Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, where the bitter struggle of the Civil War came to an end; and to the lush George Washington National Forest in Amherst. Situated in the center of it all, like a small jewel, is Lynchburg. Belonging to no county but “a city unto itself,” as it has been called, the small hill town has its own historical and cultural riches that are well-worth visiting — time and again.
