Historic Lynchburg tavern dating back to 1815 is up for sale
Dates back to 1815 and believed Thomas Jefferson was a frequent patron
LYNCHBURG, Va. – A historic tavern in Lynchburg is up for sale.
The Joseph Nichols Tavern dates back to 1815, and it’s believed Thomas Jefferson was a frequent patron.
William Holt is a preservationist and said he bought the building in 2015 because he’s a fan of America’s third president.
Holt had plans to restore and reopen the historic landmark last year, but lost the business due to declining health and COVID-19 restrictions.
