Pierce Street Gateway Raising Funds for Revitalization
Written by Alyssa Wilson, University of Lynchburg Bonner Intern
Standing on Pierce Street in Lynchburg, Virginia are eight historical markers, the most within a two block radius in the state as a whole.
The Pierce Street Gateway, founded in 2018, is working to revitalize and lift up the neighborhood in an effort to tell the stories of the ordinary and extraordinary residents of the Pierce Street Historic District.
