Gallery 1: Art & Artisans
Included in this gallery are works of art by Bernhard Gutmann, Flavius Fisher, and Georgia Morgan, all of whom had connections to Lynchburg. Also featured are a signed and dated sideboard made in Lynchburg by Thomas Crandall, an armoire by Sampson Diuguid, and chairs created by local cabinetmakers.

Lynchburg had a number of silversmiths in the 19th century and items by Silverthorn, Williams and Victor, and Truslow are among those displayed. The Levi and S.O. Fisher family of gunsmiths are also represented. Levi Fisher came to Lynchburg from the Shenandoah Valley in 1828 and his family made and repaired firearms until 1969.
