Lynchburg Historical Foundation

The Lynchburg Historical Foundation, Inc. was established on November 13, 1972, by the consolidation of the Lynchburg Historical Society (1934) and the Historic Lynchburg Foundation (1967), since both organizations had similar objectives.

The purposes for which the corporation was formed are:

To promote an understanding of history, architecture and
culture through educational programs, exhibits, publications of
historical materials and otherwise;

To undertake special projects which may include acquisition,
restoration and preservation of sites, buildings, structures,
documents and objects that are located in, related to, connected
with or illustrative of the history and culture of Lynchburg
Virginia and the surrounding area;

To encourage other organizations, corporations, and individuals
to do likewise; to encourage, promote and develop partnerships
through the Lynchburg Historical Foundation to benefit our
community;

To take or receive gifts, devises, bequests of money or other
property, real or personal, for any such purpose or purposes;
and to have and exercise all powers incidental to or necessary
and convenient to effect any or all of the purposes for which
the Foundation is formed.
