Point of Honor will host its annual fall festival Day at the Point on October 7, 2023. Please join us for a special family friendly event that brings together living history, live music, food, and local vendors.
Join us for a special program about the history of enslavement in Lynchburg, including the unveiling of six historical markers and a new project website. The keynote speaker is Dr. Kelley Fanto Deetz, Vice President of Collections & Public Engagement at Stratford Hall. Performances by Gloria Simon, Ron Shoultz, and Monique Gafford.
Great music in the great outdoors! Songs and opera favorites for the whole family are coming to the lawn of historic Point of Honor, one of the most beautiful locations in our area. Picnic Concerts have become a new Springtime tradition, produced by Opera on the James. Nationally acclaimed soprano Rachel Kobernick and tenor Jose Heredia will be featured in popular songs from Broadway to opera and more.
Join James River Theatre for Shakespeare's first, shortest, and silliest play about two sets of twins and mistaken identities on the lawn at Point of Honor!
Day at The Point has been canceled because of Tropical Storm Ian and the forecast for heavy rain and strong winds. Please join us again next year on October 7, 2023.
Point of Honor lies at the intersection of two worlds: the landowners and the enslaved people who, together, created the beautiful historic site we know today. This tour highlights the successes and struggles of the diverse plantation community in the early days of Lynchburg and our nation.
