Loop through Downtown Lexington
This free, intergenerational 90-minute stroll through local history loops you through a series of historic sites and presentations that spotlight leading ladies from the Rockbridge past.
Presenters from 6 partner museums, history organizations, and universities join to highlight this year’s theme of “Education and Civic Leadership.” Their accounts of interesting individuals and groups will illuminate the lives and networks of a range of local women whose impact was and is still evident in and beyond this community: in higher ed and local schools; in religious and charitable organizations; in medical and military service.
Doors open at the RHS Museum (101 E. Washington St.) at 1:30 to browse relevant exhibits, before opening remarks launch the walk at 2:00. The interactive tour finishes with a final presentation at First Baptist Church Lexington (103 N. Main Street), followed by a reception and a chance to explore additional displays of local histories. Welcome to all ages!
