Avoca, National Historic House in Altavista, Virginia.
The Queen Anne style residence includes a hipped roof, tower, verandah, brick kitchen, smokehouse, office space, and family cemetery on three acres.
Colonel Charles Lynch established the original residence in 1755 under a land grant from King George II before the current structure was built in 1901.
The house preserves the heritage of the Lynch and Fauntleroy families through collections and displays that represent Virginia's architectural and social development.
The museum organizes guided tours, educational programs, and special events throughout the year, with dedicated parking spaces for visitors.
The property holds significance as the final resting place of Civil War Brigadier General James Dearing within its family cemetery grounds.
