If
you've been to Boston you know all about Lexington - Massachusetts.
There are many Lexingtons in our nation and most of them have special
historical significance. This Lexington is the honing place of generals
(and admirals). Two prestigious institutions are here, Washington and
Lee University, founded in 1749, and Virginia Military Institute, founded in 1839 as
the nation's first, state-supported, military school. There are many
tours available in and about Lexington. Check with the Visitors' Bureau
for details: 540-463-3777. |
Nestled in this
valley between the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Mountains, just to the south of cavern
country (Endless, Luray and Shenandoah Caverns) and to the north of the
Natural Bridge, Blue Ridge Parkway to the east and the I-64 gateway to
West Virginia to the west, Lexington is an ideal center for outdoor
recreation. Of special interest in Spring is the Goshen Pass (VA-39
northwest from I-64 exit 55) with the continuous array of blooming
shrubs and trees against the steep backdrop of Little North Mountain. |
