Just outside of Lynchburg’s downtown, there are about five acres of properties<br />

with African American historical significance called the Pierce Street Historic<br />

District 107 . A collection of highway markers 108 flank both sides of the street and<br />

a large portion of the properties still stand. Revitalization and maintenance is<br />

ongoing and some of the homes continue to be occupied by the descendants of<br />

their historic family members.<br />
