George C. Marshall Museum
The charm of Historic Lexington comes from several different contributing factors. Most visitors are amazed at the well preserved state of this historic town. The two colleges here, Washington and Lee University and Virginia Military Institute, with beautiful adjoining campuses, add to the visual and cultural appeal.
There are many historical ties with Civil War study most interesting. Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson taught at VMI until the war and General Robert E. Lee came back to Lexington after the War to become President of what is now Washington & Lee University. There are plenty of historical sites, museums, libraries, and the Lexington Visitor Center is the best around.
Lexington is small-town America at its best and you will find its people very friendly. The abundance of wildlife and natural beauty cap off the appeal and you will get lots of ideas from John and Ellen in making your trip here most memorable. Make sure you allow enough time in planning your trip to see as much as possible. We've listed a few of the must-sees below:
