Nestled on a ridge overlooking Blackwater Creek, the Garland Hill Historic District tells a complex story about the city of Lynchburg and its residents. Through this single neighborhood, visitors can walk through three centuries of history from the first Quaker settlers in the late 1700s to the revitalization of Downtown Lynchburg today. Take a closer look at our city’s complicated history through one of its most beautiful historic districts!
