Uncover a local insight into the city’s fascinating heritage via walking tours, historical trails and antiques stores. Follow historical timelines at specialized museums or discover some of the city’s contemporary culture at the local theatre. Picturesquely situated between a network of rivers, creeks and lakes, Lexington is also an ideal spot to spend a sunny day by the water hooking fish or spotting wildlife.
