The Miller-Claytor House built in 1791, originally stood at the corner of Eighth and Church Streets but in 1936, was saved from demolition by the Lynchburg Historical Society, which moved it to its present site in Riverside Park.
It is famous for the legend that Thomas Jefferson ate a tomato from its garden to prove to an owner's child "love apples" were not poisonous; hence the house aquired the nickname "Tomato House."
