Hi Samantha! Welcome to The Wild Geese! I used to live in Lynchburg. Back in 1998-2000. Small world. :)
Lynchburg -- is that where Jack Daniels or some other major distiller is based, Samantha. Looking forward to hearing more about your Irish experience in Lynchburg, and your Irish story! Ger
That's Lynchburg, Tennessee, Gerry. :-) A much smaller town than Lynchburg, Virginia.
Let me be the third to welcome you to The Wild Geese community, Samantha!

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, we do not have any legal distilleries here in Lynchburg, VA, but there are plenty of moonshiners in the area. Lynchburg was actually founded by John Lynch, whose father was from Northern Ireland. And, many people living in this area along the Blue Ridge Mountains are descended from the Scotch-Irish settlers who came down the Shenandoah Valley in the 1700s.
