Point of Honor is a beautiful Federal home built in 1815 by Dr Cabell who was a physician to Patrick Henry. The tour was excellent and they have done a fabulous job restoring the home. Great view of the James River from the second story. The rooms are enormous with lots of large windows and intricately carved mantel pieces. The dining room and the receiving room are particularly nice.

Okay, so you have visited the plantations of Virginia planters, but what about the home of the tabacco shipper? Point of Honor lets you know that the shippers made a really good living, too. This home is spectacular! The guide was knowledgeable and well-spoken. A must-see in Lynchburg!

If you love history and know more about where you live then go to Point of Honor. The staff is friendly and outgoing. My tour guide did a fantastic job at telling me all the details about Point of Honor. She also answered all my questions. They also have events here through the year.

Came to their fall festival today, had a great time, the grounds are beautiful and the exterior of the home looks great, unfortunately the wait for a tour was a little longer than I would have hoped but Ill definitely come back for a tour! The vendors and activities today were really family friendly. Im excited to return!

Its a historical house like many others. ($6 admission, so we didnt tour it, weve seen enough of these!) But the grounds are nice to stroll around on and its a nice view of downtown Lynchburg. The fellow at the Visitors Center/Gift Shop was friendly and knowledgeable.

This is just a staple of historical place to visit in Lynchburg Virginia if you wanted to fix some of them like interactive museums you can even see some fireplaces split up someone cooking and learn a little bit about our local history and an area that is actively being restored but houses mansions and other types of historical development in the area this is downtown to as convenient location and you can easily stopped by and asked me before going to breakfast or lunch with other plants so its a really great place to stop on the weekday or on the

Beautiful historic building overlooking downtown Lynchburg! Be sure to notice the carpet in the foyer that is really made from heavy duty oil cloth, which was handpainted to resemble tile! Just gorgeous interior!

What a beautiful place. Im new in town, but this was first on my places-to-see. The property is immaculately maintained, and everyone from the gift shop to the docents was incredibly pleasant. I think it was $6.00 for a tour; my guides were patient and knowledgable. Everything in the house is time-period, though most is not from the original families. Still, theres some interesting local pieces on display. Cant wait to come back with my family and show off this local history!

The guide was very knowledgeable and patient while we asked questions. The tour was short and to the point. I wish we would have been able to walk through the kitchen and have that as a part of the tour, but the tour a great value for the price.

Point of honor tells a lot of our citys history on that or was always a landmark. It hosts a lot of local events, has a great bookstore, and can host meetings and parties. The grounds and house are remarkably well preserved, and quite beautiful just to walk around.
