Currently you can access a “guided” tour of the Garland Hill Historic District courtesy of the Lynchburg Museum System. In 2022, the Museum undertook a project to document the City’s historic districts, beginning with Garland Hill, its oldest district. Extensive research resulted in the development of a virtual walking tour that includes photographs and audio stories now available on the Museum’s website. This guided tour will provide you with interesting details about the social history of several Garland Hill properties, along with further reading if you wish to learn more. 

Use the link below to click through the audio files that correspond to the pictures of each stop on the tour and discover the fascinating history of this special neighborhood.
