overview : Founded in 1822, Lexington, Missouri, sits high atop the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River; the artery which brought life and commerce to Lexington, and around which much of our rich history is based. Lexington still possesses a distinctly 'Gracious Southern Heritage,' and is known for the dramatic three-day War Between the States 'Battle of Lexington' (aka: 'The Battle of the Hemp Bales').
collections : A few of the many points of interest in Historic Lexington include Graystone Park, The Madonna of the Trails Statue, The Oliver Anderson House, located at The Battle of Lexington State Historic Site and Museum, Lexington Historical Museum, the 1832 Log House, prestigious Wentworth Military Academy, The Linwood Lawn Estate, the beautiful 1847 Lafayette County Courthouse, and Lexington's tremendous accumulation of over 130 antebellum structures.
