Lexington is a charming town known for its military museums and universities. It features an intriguing historic downtown district and plenty of outdoor activities in the surrounding Shenandoah Valley. Chat with locals in the Old Town area for a glimpse of the community’s friendly nature. Learn about regional history with a trip to the Virginia Military Institute, which has a college and the VMI Museum. Explore the impressive buildings and notice cadets walking purposefully across this stunning campus. See the firearms collection and find out about the military history of the area. At the George C. Marshall Museum, inspect the Nobel Peace Prize he received for creating the Marshall Plan that helped restore Europe’s economy after World War II. Among the most notable figures in Lexington’s history is Stonewall Jackson, a Confederate general who taught at the military institute. Visit the solemn Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery and see the Stonewall Jackson Grave, which features a statue of the military leader. Enjoy a summer road trip around the picturesque countryside.
