Geschichte |




Die Lee Chapel in Lexington bewahrt die Gebeine von Robert E. Lee in einem überlebensgroßen Sarkophag auf


Lexington wurde 1777 besiedelt. Während des Amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs wurde Lexington teilweise niedergebrannt. Robert E. Lee und Stonewall Jackson, beide Südstaatengeneräle des Amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs, wurden in Lexington beerdigt. 20 Bauwerke und Stätten der Stadt sind im National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eingetragen (Stand 18. Mai 2019).[2]


Die Stadt war in der Vergangenheit Drehort für zahlreiche Hollywoodfilme, so z. B. für Sommersby, Gods and Generals und Krieg der Welten.
