I also tried to explain to the lady working that the man there had told me recently they did not have a late fee, she would not work with me and proceeded to tell me to leave.

One of several branches of the county library system. It's a nice new building with a helpful…read morestaff and a good selection of kids books. You can find a good selection of local history and genealogy here as well as a good selection of civil War books. Overall though the non-fiction collection is not all that broad and although you can order books from other branches, you can't expect to find just what you want if you just drop in.. There is a vast array of fiction though, with all the latest authors. There are a number of programs to attend and a table with books for sale to benefit the library. The library used to have a policy of not charging fines to senior citizens but since they associated with the Bedford Library that policy is no more, so you my fellow geezers better remember those "due dates". .

The resources are extensive and well arranged but the staff leaves much to be desired. Some of the staff seemed to act as if I were disturbing their relaxation by asking to check out a book. Approaching the desk they give you this fisheye "What are you up to?" look. Maybe they could work on that in the staff meeting. The kids section is very large.

Super clean, beautiful library that was built 5 years ago…read more It has 4 floors with different sections labeled for the noise level (quiet, deep quiet, etc.) Plenty of seating and computers inside. With lots of areas also for working in groups. If it is a nice day and you want some sun there is rooftop access and plenty of seats outside. The library even has a small museum on the bottom floor that is easy to miss if you did not know it was there. The front desk, customer service employees are very helpful with any questions you may have. There is a Starbucks, a pizza hut, and other food vendors so if you have to study all day you do not have to go far to fuel up. One real neat feature that this library has is the book storage and retrieval system. You simply choose the book on the computer screen and a machine arm will find it and deliver it to you out of the thousands of books storaged there.

While visiting friends in the Lynchburg area, we went here and opted for a self guided tour. The…read morehouse is small and a lot of it is not been restored. Similar layout concept as Monticello but on a smaller scale. It is a beautiful area and the house is very interesting. The grounds around the house have not been maintained well which is unfortunate. The garden walls are collapsing and several dead trees/plants. However, I know that this is a foundation and funding can be an issue. They also put on plays on the south lawn at various times which would be a fun event to attend. There is also a new looking walking trail on the entrance drive in and it had a lot of people there on the morning that we visited.

Nice piece of property in the Forest area of VA, this was Jefferson's summer home. Considering it is a bit of a task to get to in 2015, it must have really sucked to make the trek on horseback way back in the day. Worth a visit if in the area to at least get a glimpse into how they lived 200 years ago - right down to the functional outhouses. They really lived pretty well back then - I guess if you had the money. There are guided tours for a donation that gets you in the main house. I'm not sure on the paid tour if they point out where ole T.J. was boinking Sally Hemmings... You can walk the grounds for free. A nice day out for the family.

The Appomattox Court House NHP is a fraud! Ok here me out. I am somewhat of a history nerd but…read morethink broad strokes not necessarily on a micro level. Anyway, when I arrived, I went into the visitor's center like one always should when visiting a National Park. One of the Park Rangers started telling me about the property. "Currently you are standing in the Appomattox Court House......absolutely nothing happened in here! The surrender was just a football field's length away at the McLean House." What!? Why is it named after the courthouse then? Anyway, all jokes aside the place is great. As stated, the visitor's center is located inside the old courthouse and has the standard gift shop, museum, and movie theatre. Outside there are several buildings that include a bookstore, a Tavern, The Mclean House and several others. The Mclean House was actually torn down at one point and then rebuilt. The house is set up to look like it did then when Lee surrendered to Grant. While the Mclean house is the main attraction to the park, there are plenty of battlefields, markers and hiking trails around to explore. So why only 4 stars, well name it the Mclean House National Historic Park and I will give it another star.

Parking is plentiful and easy to access. When you get to the settlement where the houses are, you encounter beautifully preserved homes that are set up as they would have been during the war. Unlike other battlefields that feel oppressive with death, Appomattox feels like hope for me. Maybe it's my imagination -especially because people died here too, but the way the two generals conducted themselves went a long way in restoring peace. It's a beautiful place to spend an afternoon.
