I've been to broadway, and the actors here are honesty better. Every one of these actors played their parts with such feeling, they really dragged you into the play. I was moved beyond words. What an incredible cast!! By the end of the play, you felt like you knew every actor there. Their voices were incredible too! My only criticism is at the very end of the play, they should get together so the audience can take one picture of everyone. I highly recommend seeing any play this company performs. I wish we didn't live so far away, we would be regulars! We will be back every year now!

They had a standing collection as well as a visiting exhibition. Their labeling included some works with a "no photography" sign, which I was notified of by non-college-aged staff volunteering there. I took a few pictures which I believe are in compliance. Both rooms had some interesting works, and while it was too small to be a destination spot, the opportunity to see free art is worthwhile if in the area.

American Civil War Museum @ Appomattox, VA…read more This place is a gem for people that love history! Cleburne's coat that he was killed in at the battle of Franklin had me in absolute aweeee! Thank y'all for preserving these artifacts for the people to enjoy. I would highly recommend this place! On April 8, 1865, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia paused its march a mile from the small village of Appomattox Court House. Lee intended to resupply there before heading to Lynchburg, Virginia, and then south to Danville, Virginia. Unanticipated was the arrival of Union cavalry coming from the south under Gen. Philip H. Sheridan's command. That evening Union Brig. Gen. George Armstrong Custer successfully led some of the cavalry against the Confederate supply trains at the nearby Appomattox Station. Although shaken, Lee hoped to break through to Lynchburg the next day. On the morning of April 9, Lee ordered his cavalry, under the command of Gen. John B. Gordon, to attack Sheridan's cavalry, which had blocked the Richmond-Lynchburg Stage Road. Lee commanded an army of nearly 27,000 soldiers, which paled in comparison to Grant's force of some 63,000 troops, but he still intended to force his way through Union lines. The Confederate cavalry initially held their own and even succeeded in driving the Union horsemen from their position atop a nearby ridge. However, Gordon saw thousands of Union troops quickly approaching and sent word to Lee that his position was hopeless unless the infantry supported them. Lee's infantry, however, was engaged with Grant's Army of the James, which had approached the Confederates from the west under cover of night. Faced with no route of escape to Lynchburg, Lee agreed to negotiate terms of surrender. In a statement about her husband, Mary Custis Lee remarked that "General Lee is not the Confederacy." Her assessment was spot on, for the Confederacy still lived. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army--the next largest after Lee's still at war--was operating in North Carolina. Lt. Gen. Richard Taylor controlled forces in Alabama, Mississippi, and part of Louisiana. Lt. Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith's men were west of the Mississippi, and Brig. Gen. Stand Watie was in command of an Indian unit in the Far West. Nathan Bedford Forrest had men in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.

A walking path goes past a number of rose bushes and there are a few benches. There is also a great view of the James River valley from here. The caption reads, "Mr. Elder's Rose Garden. Lawrence Lloyd Elder (1896-1964) was a valued employee of the City of Lynchburg for over 34 years. His special domain was gardening and his responsibility the greenhouses in Miller Park where the city's flowers were raised for use in the parks. Later he was assigned the care of nearby municipal properties, including Monument Terrace, the Court House, the Post office and the roses in the Confederate Cemetery. In the adjoining remote area he also tended his personal garden of roses, which brought much pleasure to the many city employees in the area. In 1986, twenty-two years after Mir. Elder's death, the Blue Ridge Rose Society, in cooperation with the City of Lynchburg, undertook the revitalization of the garden as a Bicentennial Project. The Garden now serves as a depository of old Lynchburg Roses, all of which are known to have been grown and loved by the people of Lynchburg during its 200 year history."
