What it’s like
The place. Lynch Station is a small community in Campbell County, in south-central Virginia. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical resident is middle-aged. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. Across the county, unemployment is about where it was a year earlier, and the number of jobs grew slightly last year. Commutes are fairly short, and relatively few people work from home.
Things to do. Goose Creek runs in or beside the town, so the river is close at hand. Leesville Lake is a short drive away, and Smith Mountain Lake State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away on the shore of Smith Mountain Lake.
