Lexington’s historic past has been so well preserved that it offers visitors a step back in time. The Stonewall Jackson House has been restored and refurbished with many of his possessions to become a museum of his life. Tours are available daily. The Lee Chapel and Museum is located on the campus of Washington & Lee University. Built in 1867, it contains the family crypt, many personal belongings, and Lee’s office, preserved as he left it in 1870. The George C. Marshall Museum and library is another popular attraction. The museum contains photomurals and numerous artifacts which are employed in depicting the life and times of General Marshall. The Virginia Military Institute Museum has Stonewall Jackson’s horse, Little Sorrell, on display. It also highlights such VMI professors and alumni as Stonewall Jackson, Mathew Fontaine Maury, and George C. Marshall. The Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery is the site of a statue portraying General Jackson, done by Edward Valentine. Jackson himself, members of his family, a number of Lexington’s leading statesmen, and more than 100 Confederate soldiers are buried in these walls.
Included in the history of Lexington is a deep regard for education. It is the home to Washington & Lee University and Virginia Military Institute.
Accommodations are plentiful in historic Lexington, so visit here and take a step back in time.
