<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Located at 900 Court Street, Lynchburg VA, Monument Terrace
Joins the business area of downtown Lynchburg and the Courthouse Hill. It is a landmark,
which has changed and grown over time , new additions
have been made. Early Lynchburg business was focused near the James River, but
in 1813, Lynchburg's first courthouse was built in the hills above. Therefore,
the connection from the James River to the courthouse cut out a path, which is
now 9th street in downtown Lynchburg. As put by the Lynchburg Museum System,
"the street and Monument terrace represent the most historic corridor in
the city". This is big! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><o:p></o:p>In 1882, someone very important to changing the Monuments
appearance came along. This person is August Forsberg. He designed the stone
steps and a plaza, as well as a fountain that would be placed on Church and 9th
street. A tragic fire in 1883 caused five
volunteer fire fighters to lose their lives. After this event, August Forsberg
added a fireman’s memorial to his plan. This is where the statue of a fireman
on top of the fountain in 1925 gets its origin. The fireman’s fountain stood at
the memorial until 1924. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Our current Monument Terrace design is very different. The architect
Aubrey Chestermen created the version, which we can see today. This structure
was completed in 1925 and was supposed to be a monument to Lynchburg’s lost men
in “the World War” of 1917-1918 (The Lynchburg Museum System). This fountain
was completed with turtles and dolphins. Yet, this statue was removed and
placed into storage. “Monument Terrace design is rooted in the Renaissance. The
grand staircase, scrolls at the stair bases, and robust balusters pay homage to
ancient Italian design” (The Lynchburg Museum System). An interesting fact about the Monument is that its base contains a time capsule with items related to the
Confederacy, including photographs of local Confederates, CSA currency, and
hair from General Lee’s famous house, traveler. Pictured above, is when John W. Daniel addressed the crowd at the unveiling of the Confederate monument in 1900 (The Lynchburg Museum System). </span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;">The next monument to come up in 1986, is a very personal and close hitting one, The Vietnam War was commemorated when the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 196 erected the monument. MY grandfather served in the Vietnam War, and is in the Vietnam Veterans Chapter 196. He has many, many stories to tell about it, but this brings the memorial to life for me. The Vietnam Veterans, along with veterans of many other wars join together at the bottom of Monument Terrace each and every Friday, and have done so for about 600 consecutive Fridays. They do this to show honor to those lost, and for those still fighting in the current battles America is involved with. The Vietnam war lasted from 1964-1973, and 27 men from Lynchburg were lost. My grandfather was awarded two purple hearts for risking his life to save many of his wounded comrades in battle. What is so inspiring, is that even though a grenade had taken out many of the muscles in his thigh, he was still able to run and pull many men to safety. </span></div>

Thank you for Reading! If you would like more information about Monument Terrace you can call the Lynchburg Museum at 434-455-6226. Most of my information came from the Lynchburg Museum System brochure for monument Terrace. Pictures were personally taken, and some were retrieved from online. Some information was retrieved by talking to my grandfather as well.<br />
