To visit Lexington is to step into the footsteps of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Lexington not only has the Civil War’s most revered generals; it has the horses they rode in on. Visit Lee Chapel and pay your respects to General Lee and his family as well as his horse, Traveller. Then venture to the VMI Cadet Museum to see Stonewall Jackson’s mounted horse, Little Sorrel. Tour the Jackson House, the only home Stonewall Jackson ever owned. Next tour the George C. Marshall Museum and see why Marshall is considered one of the twentieth century’s greatest Americans.
The entire city of Lexington is listed on the Historic National Registry and can easily be enjoyed on foot, car, or from a carriage ride. The architecture in this picturesque 19th century town has been carefully preserved. With over 40 shops, downtown Lexington is a shopper’s paradise offering gifts, fine art, clothing, shoes, and more. A night out dining with friends is a night of good food, fun, and superior service. If you are looking to connect with America’s heritage, we invite you to call Lexington your home base. You’ll be in good company!
