It may sound strange to take your family to the cemetery for fun, but this is a great day out for families with children. There is a lovely fish pond, and plenty of "cemetery cats" to make friends with. There is a picnic table and plenty of benches. There is even a swing in one of the massive trees. There... More

Really interesting stop. Several things to see in the cemetary. Pick up a guide at the front gate and explore. Lots of early nineteenth century and Civil war history. Worth a stop and free!

The walk through the City Cemetery is surfilled with dleights on your walk. You will learn about Lynchburg , Civil War, and Railroad history, the pet cemetery, a sculpture, ponds, a swing, glorious flowers in bloom. It's a great place for a walk, picnic lunch, or to take some photos.

Fabulous historical presentations by local actors portraying various "residents" of the cemetery and their so very interesting stories. What an unusual and spectacular evening! Get your tickets early as they sell out every year quickly!

With beautiful, rolling hills and gravestones that date back to the civil War, this is a wonderful place for a Sunday afternoon picnic. It even has a tree swing and tables. Absolutely beautiful.

This was a very short stop to stretch our legs. The cemetery was beautiful, peaceful, and old. I plan to go back and make an entire day out of it. Don't miss if youre in Lynchburg.

Wear good walking shoes as the place is hilly. Check with the office and get the history from one of the people working there. Very interesting.

Was very interesting visiting the cemetery at night with all the info the tour had to offer. It's a beautiful cemetery and holds a lot of local history.
