LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — Two state historical markers are being christened this weekend in Lynchburg.

The Virginia Department of Historic Resources markers each will be dedicated on Sunday. One will recognize a home for formerly enslaved women, while the other will recognize the site of Confederate soldiers’ camp that later emerged as a refuge for freed slaves after the Civil War.
