About LHF
The Lynchburg Historical Foundation was established on November 13, 1972 with the merging of the Lynchburg Historical Society (1934) and the Historic Lynchburg Foundation (1967). Today, we operate as a 501 c 3 non-profit, seeking to preserve and share the story of Lynchburg and the surrounding area.
