By far my favorite town. Very old and preserved downtown area. Cobblestone sidewalks, very old brick buildings that have been well preserved and taken care of. And history.
We spent some time in a very old cemetery where Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's tombstone is along with his family. Extremely old gravestones are there. The cemetery is situated among very old oak trees.
Lexington is home to the military academy as well. We shot numerous pictures of very old building and homes. Everything is so nicely manicured.

Had a little lunch downtown. People of Virginia are very pleasant to talk to. While at the Arab Horse Shoe at the Virginia Horse Center, we met someone that was from Portland, Oregon. How does that happen?
