Outdoor Adventures

Historic Lexington Virginia population 7000 is the most beautiful, charming and interesting town in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. You may want to kick yourself for not getting here sooner if you have not experienced Lexington. Hopefully in your visit here you sense some of the same enjoyment as John has in over 60 years of living here. Visitors are amazed at the well preserved state of the town; the easy walk from the Lodge takes you down tree lined Main Street by many other architecturally interesting homes as well as the Stonewall Jackson Cemetery. The two colleges here, Washington and Lee University-c. 1749, and Virginia Military Institute founded 1839 have beautiful adjoining campuses and both are steeped in history.

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 to Lexington after the War to become President of what is now Washington & University. Both are buried in the town they both loved. The Lee Chapel and museum pays honor to General Lee. President George Washington was the first major donor to what is now Washington and Lee University.

Lexington is small-town America at its best and you will find its people very friendly. The abundance of history, 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:
