Day at the Point

Point of Honor, home of Dr. George Cabell who was Patrick Henry’s personal physician, recently celebrated its annual Day at the Point where the historical home is open to the public free of charge.

This year’s event drew hundreds of people to see the home and experience life as it would have been in the early 1800’s. There was a blacksmith and trapper, explaining their life in the early 19^th century. Also on hand were people in period garb, cooking demonstrations, period music and much more.

If you missed this year’s day at the point it will return again next year, but if you are in the area on December 6^th from 12:00-4:00pm you won’t want to miss Christmas at Point of Honor. This is your opportunity to see how the home would have been decorated for Christmas in the early 1800’s. Admission is free.

If you are traveling to the area and will be in Lynchburg on 6 December, The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast is just two blocks from Point of Honor and would be the ideal place to spend the evening before continuing your travels.
