The Jones, a genealogy and history library in Lynchburg, Virginia, hosts an exhibit about Lynchburg and the Great War, 1914 -1918 in the library Reading Room. Open to the public with free admission, the exhibit shares letters, posters, and mementos from World War I and the war’s impact on Hill City residents.

Made possible in part by a grant from Virginia Humanities.
