Lynchburg is located in the Central Virginia region at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is known as the "City of Seven Hills."

City of Seven Hills

Lynchburg is the home of Randolph College, Lynchburg College, Virginia University of Lynchburg and Liberty University, and is a center of cultural activities such as concerts, plays, lecture series and art shows.

Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest is in Lynchburg, the home of Anne Spencer - the Harlem Rennaissance poet - and Dr. Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church. 

Lynchburg is the launch site every summer for the Batteaux Festival, where crews dressed in period clothing use poles to navigate their batteaux down to Richmond on the James River.
