The Lydia Post Office was established in 1896, and at one time this mountain community had a school, a tea room, tourist cabins, several stores and a dance hall. In addition, the St James Mission established a school and hospital nearby. I believe this church building may have been connected to the Mission at one time. The sign over the door reads "OLD Time Religion."
Today, travelers along US Route 33 in western Greene County will see the few remaining traces of Lydia just before crossing into the Shenandoah National Park.
