The Heart of Virginia's Horse Country :
Theater At Lime Kiln
Where master stone masons once plied their trade and kilns burned red hot with the making of lime, professional actors and musicians now entertain audiences on summer nights. With a sky full of stars for a roof, an earthen floor and stone walls for a stage, visitors to Theater at Lime Kiln quickly discover why it has been called "the most unusual theater setting in the United States." Plays, musicals and concerts uniquely blend regional history, music and heroes with the universal art of drama from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Arts in Lexington Gallery Tour
Lexington offers an art gallery walking tour through the city‘s historic downtown district. The tour consists of eight fine galleries within easy walking distance of one another. Although the galleries are all located in the heart of downtown Lexington, there is no mistaking that each of them has their own artistic style and spirit. You will discover everything from local art and hand-made jewelry to contemporary black and white photography and traditional Chinese paintings. In addition, many local restaurants and shops often have temporary art exhibits that showcase local and regional artists. Take a leisurely stroll through our art galleries and enjoy the history and culture that make Lexington a special place where memories are made.
The Art in Lexington brochure and locator map can be found at the Lexington Visitor Center (106 E. Washington Street).
