"Site Director of the Museum of the Confederacy in Appomattox County
Linda J. Lipscomb has been the Site Director of the Museum of the Confederacy -Appomattox since July 2011. Taking that job was the culmination of experiences with the Museum of the Confederacy.
Initially, she was hired as a Development Associate in April of 2000. Two years later, in a re-organization that position was eliminated. A position of Executive Secretary to the Executive Director was created and Linda was the successful candidate. She also assumed office manager responsibilities and became the staff's primary liaison with the Board of Trustees. With a change in leadership of the MOC, her responsibilities again changed and she was named Director of Administration and Programs and Special Events. During this time, the number of adult outreach programs increased from a few to over 30 programs. Additionally, she has been overseeing the retail operations of the Haversack gift shop, in preparation for the responsibilities of the Site Director in Appomattox.
In 2011, with the aid of an army of volunteers, Linda has been enlisting a corps of volunteers to help with the day-to-day operations of the museum when it opens in the spring of 2012. These volunteers have also be instrumental in researching local individuals and history for use in the exhibits and programs.
Formerly, Mrs. Lipscomb was employed at Red Hill and Berkeley Plantation. In addition she trained foster parents throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Linda is currently the President of the Society of Women and the Civil War, a member of the Lynchburg Civil War Round Table and Women's Club of Appomattox.
A native of Raleigh, North Carolina, Linda grew up in Akron, Ohio and lived in San Diego, California for 15 years before moving to Richmond, Virginia for 20 years. She and her husband, Jimmy are now proud to be residents of Appomattox, Virginia.
