Two pieces of Lynchburg-area history made the Virginia Association of Museums’ Top 10 Endangered Artifacts list for 2020, putting the items in the running for a $1,000 award to help conservation efforts. The local artifacts are a World War II poster at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, and the white marble angel statue marking the grave of a 2-year-old child in Lynchburg’s Old City Cemetery. The VAM’s Top 10 endangered artifacts program campaign was designed to raise awareness of the importance of Virginia’s museums striving to preserve and tell stories of the commonwealth’s history and financially support the efforts of institutions. Virginia museums can submit an artifact for the program every year. A list of the nominated artifacts are then reviewed by a VAM committee that narrows down a list to the top 10.
