This all-day tour departs from the Lynchburg location of your choice.  The first stop is Lynchburg's Garland Hill Historic District.  The development of Garland Hill reflects the changing architectural tastes of Lynchburg's leading citizens over a hundred year span and symbolizes the community's growth from a rurally-oriented town to an industrial city.   By mid-morning, we will arrive at Appomattox Court House National Historic Park where our nation united.  Here, on April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee, commanding General of the Army of Northern Virginia, surrendered his men to Ulysses S. Grant, General-in-Chief of all United States Forces.  At noon your group will enjoy lunch at The Babcock House, an historic property tastefully decorated with period antiques and located in historic Appomattox, Virginia, only two miles from the national Historic Park.  After lunch we will visit the national D-Day Memorial.  The monument serves as a permanent tribute to the Allied Forces on D-Day; and in concert with the Memorial's education center, as a resource for preserving the lessons and legacy of D-Day.  The tour concludes with a visit to the Old Virginia Candle Company where you will be able to see candles in various stages of production and packaging.
