South River Friends Meetinghouse
South River Friends Meetinghouse, Historic Quaker meetinghouse in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The 1798 stone building measures 30 by 51 feet with 16-inch thick walls reaching 12 feet in height, constructed using local fieldstone materials.
The structure served as a Union troops campsite during the Battle of Lynchburg before Presbyterians purchased and renovated it in 1899 for their congregation.
The building reflects traditional Quaker principles through its simple architectural design, resembling a residential structure rather than an ornate religious building.
Visitors can obtain a written self-guided tour from the secretary's office at Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church to explore the historical structure.
The adjacent cemetery contains the grave of John Lynch, founder of Lynchburg, marked by a modern commemorative plaque.
