Lynchburg Series: Poplar Forest
The next stop on our vacation was a visit to Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest. Many people know about Thomas Jefferson’s home in Monticello, but while in Lynchburg, we learned that he also had another home in Poplar Forest. He would often come to this home as a private retreat. He’d visit for two weeks to two months at a time. As we walked around the property, we could see why he was so attracted to the beautiful land!
Lynchburg Series: Natural Bridge Zoo
The Natural Bridge Zoo has a wide variety of animals from goats, birds, and turtles to giraffes, elephants, and tigers. Read more about my favorite stop on our 4th of July adventure around Natural Bridge, VA.
Lynchburg Series: Dinosaur Kingdom II
Dinosaur Kingdom II is a tourist attraction located just over a mile down the road from Natural Bridge State Park. This was by far the most bizarre stop during our week-long trip to Lynchburg, VA. I didn’t know what to expect, but this place took us on a wild ride through fictional history.
Lynchburg Series: Natural Bridge State Park
Natural Bridge State Park was a really fun day trip for the 4th of July! Check out our travels to the attraction, along with views from our hike along the Cedar Creek Trail.
