The HOME Show

Jay White, Old City Cemetery

It is so much more than a cemetery—it’s a living textbook of Central Virginia history.

The HOME Show hosts Trish Roth and Rich Roth welcome Jay White, the Executive Director of Lynchburg’s historic Old City Cemetery. In this captivating interview, Jay reframes this 1806 landmark as a vibrant “Grave Garden,” arboretum and major cultural tourist destination.

Discover the cemetery’s famous resident marketing team—Morris, Baxter, and Sampson the Goats—and learn about upcoming community events like First Fridays and the annual Juneteenth Celebration. Jay also previews the legendary fall Candlelight Tours partnered with Endstation Theater Company and shares the wildly expensive, salacious history of Lynchburg’s 19th-century “bawdy ladies”.
