Lynchburg, Missouri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lynchburg is an unincorporated community in southeastern Laclede County, Missouri, United States, located 30 miles south of Lebanon. It is home to about 400 people[citation needed]. The post office was closed in 2004, but the town does have a volunteer fire department and a store[citation needed]. The saying "If I pay taxes on both sides of the road, I ought to be able to walk on both sides of the road" came from Allen Scott (1854-1951), a Lynchburg resident[citation needed]. The town is named after John Lynch, who served as sheriff immediately following the Civil War and had a propensity for hangman justice[citation needed].
