From the author: “Every estranged member of the Lafayette clan has descended upon the crumbling Arkansas homestead to settle the accounts of the newly-dead patriarch.... But after a disturbing discovery surfaces among their father’s possessions, the reunion takes a turn for the explosive, unleashing a series of crackling surprises and confrontations.”

EW VIEWS is committed to serving a broad public through readings, workshops and productions that will enlighten, empower, and prompt thoughtful and constructive dialogue about ideas, events, legacies, and characters. Our presentations may entertain, comfort, challenge -- and even confound -- audiences of different backgrounds and points of view.

 The founders of NEW VIEWS firmly believe that no ideas grounded in reason, humanity, and compassion are dangerous. Rather, as art and history remind us, they often lead to new thoughts, words, and deeds.

Tickets available at 

Balloon flights are scheduled for Saturday morning and evening, and Sunday morning and evening, weather permitting. Tethered rides will be offered both days as well, also weather permitting.

Main Street Lexington sponsors the annual candlelight processional and community tree lighting, which will take place on Friday, Nov. 27. Lineup begins at 5:15 p.m. at the Main Street entrance to Oak Grove Cemetery, where candles and holiday songbooks will be distributed. At 5:30, Santa and Mrs. Claus lead the processional down Main Street in a horsedrawn carriage provided by the Lexington Carriage Company. The processional will arrive at Hopkins Green, where caroling will continue, and the community tree will be lit to officially usher in the holiday season As always, the processional is family-friendly, open to all and free of charge.

Lexington and Buena Vista both have great Christmas parades in their downtowns in December. Lexington’s parade is tentatively scheduled for Friday evening, Dec. 4. Traditionally, Buena Vista holds its parade on the first Thursday of December, which would be Dec. 3, 2026. Both parades feature floats and marching units from local organizations, high school bands and, of course, Santa Claus. 

Lexington’s Children’s Bike Parade is a different kind of patriotic parade. Kids 12 and under decorate their bikes and tricycles - even babies in strollers get decorated. The decorating begins at 10 am and steps off at 11, and goes north on Main Street from The Hub, by Oak Grove Cemetery.  Refreshment are available at the terminus of the parade. 

This year (2026) Balloons Over Rockbridge brings huge hot air balloons to Oak Hill Property, across Rt. 39 from the Virginia Horse Center on July 4 and 5. See the separate listing for that event elsewhere under Events.  

In the evening of Buena Vista’s Glen Maury Park is the site of the annual Fourth of July Concert and Dance, bringing a great dance band under the pavilion for a night of music and dancing. Food and beverages are available. 

Finally, at 9:30, the Fourth wraps up with a great fireworks show at Glen Maury Park.

     By the late 1700s, canals along the rivers were seen as a viable way to move cargo and people inland. The James River and Kanawha Canal was started west from Richmond, with the ultimate goal of connecting with the Ohio River by way of the Kanawha in what’s now West Virginia. By 1840, the canal was built to Lynchburg, and by 1851 reached Buchanan. In 1860, the North River Navigation Company finished a canal from Lexington down to the mouth of the Maury, where it met the James River Canal. 

     The canal port at Jordan’s Point became Lexington’s industrial center, but the era of canals was short-lived. Floods, damage from the Civil War and the coming of railroads doomed the canal. 

     The canal company sold its right-of-way to the Richmond & Allegheny Railroad, later the Chesapeake & Ohio, now CSX. Part of the old canal towpath was used to construct a rail line up to Lexington from Balcony Falls, near present day Glasgow, opening in 1881.

     Canal locks, like the well-preserved one at Ben Salem Wayside, allowed the canal boats to move up and down the river around rapids in the stream. The wayside is a popular picnic spot for locals and visitors. 

The Shenandoah Valley Railroad, now part of the Norfolk Southern system, runs through Buena Vista along its route at the western base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Valley Railroad, which originated in Harrisonburg, was intended to essentially parallel the Valley Pike, now U.S. 11. After leaving Staunton, it entered Rockbridge

County at Raphine and continued on with stations at Midway, Fairfield,

Decatur, Timber Ridge and East Lexington before culminating in Lexington.

In 1882, the SVRR succeeded in reaching Roanoke ahead of the VRR.

Construction on the Valley Railroad had temporarily ceased in 1873, after

the stretch from Harrisonburg to Staunton had been completed, because of a

national financial panic. It wasn’t until 10 years later that the line from Staunton to Lexington was finished. Track would never be laid south of Lexington.

But stone culverts, bridge piers and other evidence of where the railroad was to go were built and can still be seen. Some of the most notable examples of the masonry arches and abutments constructed to span the waterways can be found in Rockbridge County along Plank Road south of Lexington. Take Rt. 251 south from Lexington about 2 miles to Possum Hollow Road on the left, then about a mile to Plank Road. Follow Plank Road south; you’ll see some of this spectacular stonework over the next five miles or so. 

Most everything in northern Rockbridge is accessible off US Route 11, going north from Lexington. Route 11 as a thoroughfare follows the path of pre-Columbian Indian trails, and later the Valley Pike. The views of mountains and valley are spectacular from Route 11, and more easily enjoyed at slower than Interstate highway speeds. 

Don’t miss stopping at Ecco Adesso Vineyards. The views from the striking stone mansion of the Blue Ridge Mountains are spectacular. Though the winery has been bottling its own vintages for just a few years, it has already amassed an impressive trove of awards. 

The village of Fairfield, 10 miles north of Lexington,  is typical of the Valley Pike town. When these villages were build, the road was much narrower and successive widenings has brought the road virtually to the doorsteps of some of the buildings. Many homes and building in Fairfield date from the 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Spend some time walking the sidewalk in Fairfield and explore this quaint village. 3 Seasons Antiques is open from mid-March until just before Christmas Thursdays-Saturdays.  

Going west from Fairfield on Sterrett Road ( a left turn just north of Fairfield) take you to Brownsburg. Be sure to visit the BrownsburgMuseum, which chronicles the life of this community.

 The Chessie Nature Trail is a seven-mile, year-round public access walking trail between Lexington and Buena Vista, located along the former Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad right of way. The trail has a relatively flat grade with a gravel and dirt surface. There are currently no facilities on the trail, so plan a visit accordingly. Ticks are fairly common in this area during warmer months; be sure to wear appropriate clothing and check thoroughly for ticks after returning from the trail.

  The Chessie Train has a listing at AllTrails.com, where you can download their smartphone app to rate the trail, log your trip with GPS, and upload photos for other visitors to see! Users may also want to bring along a copy of the Field Guide to the Chessie Nature Trail (published in 2009 by the Rockbridge Area Conservation Council) to learn more about the history and environment in the area of the trail.

     Pedestrians and bicycles are welcome on the trail. The trail goes through private lands, including active cattle farms. Exercise caution and respect. Dogs must be leashed at all times. Pack out all litter.

     Follow this link for a downloadable trail map: www.vmi.edu/media/content-assets/documents/chessie-trail/map___guide_for_the_cnt.pdf

     The trail may be accessed from several places, including at the north end of the East Lexington Bridge (U.S. Route 11) over the Maury River; near Mill Creek on Old Buena Vista Road (Virginia Route 631), about 0.6 miles east of Route 11; at Stuartsburg Road (Route 608), where the South River flows into the Maury; and at the eastern terminus, Stuartsburg Road (Route 608) at U.S. Route 60.

     The inn occupies two of downtown Lexington’s oldest surviving structures; the Alexander-Withrow House built in 1789, and the Central Hotel, the oldest part of which dates from 1809. Both buildings have served as private homes, shops, inns and offices over their long lives. Additional suites at The Georges are located in historic Lawyer’s Row, overlooking Courthouse Square, built c. 1846. The Alexander-Withrow House is the only building still standing in town to survive the Great Fire of 1796. The Livery is located in a building previously built  by John Sheridan in 1887.The Georges has recently acquired another building waiting for renovation. 

     The 1960s saw a swelling of interest nationally in historic preservation, and Lexington was not immune. When a local landmark home was threatened with demolition to make way for an office building, locals rallied, and a buyer was found to purchase the home and restore it. But it was apparent that other handsome 19th century structures were in jeopardy, if not only from demolition but also from neglect. The Historic Lexington Foundation was formed in 1966 to raise funds to purchase significant buildings, stabilize them structurally and resell them with protective covenants requiring that the exteriors remain essentially true to their 19th century roots.

     In 1969, the foundation’s first acquisition was the Alexander-Withrow House. This project became the model for revitalizing the entire block of North Main Street between Washington and Henry Streets. When the project was complete, it was sold to a local developer, who made the upper floors into a cozy bed and breakfast, with retail space on the street level.

     The Central Hotel was a more ambitious project because it was larger, and because the structure was in much worse shape. But when completed, it became an inn. Coincidentally, the buyers of the Central Hotel building also bought the Alexander-Withrow House and operated them together, just as The Georges.

     The Georges offers 33 uniquely appointed rooms and suites, custom designed and furnished, with luxury amenities such as Frette bed linens & robes, and Peacock Alley blankets. The elegant bathrooms are finished with custom tile work, Gilchrist & Soames bathroom amenities, walk-in showers in each room and a luxurious free-standing soaking tub in select suites.

     The newest addition is The Livery, formerly the Sheridan Livery, originally owned and operated as a livery stable and stage line has been renovated into 12 hotel rooms and a private event space  for weddings and large receptions..

     The Georges was voted #2 and #4 best city hotel in the continental U.S. in 2020 and 2021 respectively, and fifty-third of the top 100 hotels in the world in 2020 according to the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards. Last year marks the 26th edition of the annual survey, in which 300,000 Travel + Leisure readers rate experiences in a variety of categories, from cities and hotels to cruise lines and airlines.

     For your palate and amusement, The Georges presents Haywood’s Piano Bar & Grill featuring classic cuisine with live entertainment and TAPS, a beautiful lobby lounge and casual restaurant serving upscale pub fare, creative cocktails, and craft beer.

     Glen Maury Park lies along the Maury River and rises over the hills to the west of the river. The views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the pavilion at the highest point in the park are spectacular and worth the drive if you are in the Lexington area. 

     The park’s campground offers sites for tent camping and hook-ups for RVs. The swimming pool is open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. The park hosts events ranging from music festivals to bike races to community celebrations like Buena Vista’s long-running Labor Day fest. 

     See the park’s website for rates for camping and the pool, and the schedule of events at www.buenavistava.org/residents/recreation/glen-maury-park

     Currently, there is no easy connection between the northern terminus of the Woods Creek Trail and the Chessie Trail. To reach the western end of the Chessie Trail, go east on Old Buena Vista Road (Route 631) at the end of the Maury River bridge three-tenths of a mile and look for the sign on the right for Chessie Trail parking.The trail is also accessible from Stuartsburg Road (Route 608), where the South River flows into the Maury, and at the Eastern terminus, Stuartsburg Road (Road 608) at U.S. Route 60 near Buena Vista. The Chessie Nature Trail follows the old road bed of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad for 12 miles between Lexington and Buena Vista. Along the trail, hikers can see relics of the railroad and of the canal that came up the Maury to Lexington. 

     The trail is open from dawn to dusk every day except Christmas Day. No vehicles are permitted on the trail, but bicycles are allowed, though there are several fixed gates that make bike use difficult. There is a nice three-mile ungated stretch of trail from the western terminus to just east of where the trail crosses under I-81.

         The Jackson House at 8 East Washington Street in Lexington, just one block west of the Lexington Visitor Center, explores the pre-Civil War home life of Thomas J. Jackson, the Lexingtonian who became internationally famous as Confederate General “Stonewall” Jackson. The 225-year-old home tells the story of newlyweds Thomas and Mary Anna Jackson and six enslaved people on the eve of the Civil War. Explore the exhibit galley with artifacts that illuminate Jackson’s life as a private citizen, professor at the Virginia Military Institute, family man, church member, and community leader during his decade in Lexington.
       An exciting new self-guided, video-based tour allows visitors to explore the house and gardens at their own pace, while interpreters are ready to engage in deeper discussions about life in Lexington during the 1850s. 

One of three museums operated by the Virginia Military Institute, the house was restored in 1979 to its appearance when Thomas Jackson, his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, and six enslaved persons lived here immediately before the American Civil War. Furnished with many of Jackson's own possessions, the house reflects the modest means and simple tastes of a middle-class family.
      Jackson arrived in Lexington in 1851 to teach natural and experimental philosophy and artillery tactics at VMI and longed for a home of his own. He wrote to a friend that "I shall never be content until I am the head of an establishment in which my friends can feel at home in Lexington." Though known publicly for his stern demeanor, Jackson could be playful at home. Mary Anna recalled, "He would often hide himself behind a door at the sound of the approaching footstep of his wife, and spring out to greet her with a startling caress." 

He took great pleasure in tending the garden behind his home. In 1860, he wrote to Mary Anna, who was away, about growing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including lima beans, carrots, onions, cabbage, turnips, beets, potatoes, and "some inferior muskmelons."  Mary Anna's sister Laura later recalled, "I shall never forget the magnificent giant celery he grew, which he exhibited with pride."
      Today visitors can stroll through the restored garden with fruit trees, heirloom vegetables, and flowers; explore the exhibit gallery featuring 60 Jackson family artifacts; or browse in the museum store, which specializes in books, prints, and gifts inspired by 19th- century styles. Admission fees and sales in the museum store help support the educational programs and operations of the museum.
      Admission is $10.00 for adults and $6.00 for youth under ages 6-12. Children under six are admitted free of charge. Residents of Buena Vista, Lexington, and Rockbridge County receive free admission. Visitors can save up to 30% with a bundle ticket that includes admission to the Jackson House Museum, the VMI Museum, and the Virginia Museum of the Civil War. Group rates are available with advance reservations.

Brian went on to become a top dressage and eventing Equestrian Judge, traveling 35-40 long weekends a year, judging on 4 continents, including the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, and became an educator of eventing judges in the US. Penny organized as many as 20 national and international horse competitions a year for 25-plus years mostly in central Virginia. They raised two sons, worked their gardens, harvested their own fruits and vegetables, and enjoyed their many pets and wild animals.

In 2015, Brian, a cancer survivor , and Penny retired from the horse industry to concentrate their time on the farm. After some research and visiting a lavender farm in Washington State that impressed them, they planted a field of 360 lavender plants. Other things they considered were grapes, hops, garlic and asparagus but Penny had always had a love for lavender and had planted some on the rock ledges in front of their log home, where it thrived so their dream took shape.

 In 2017, they planted another field and began selling lavender products at a local farmers market where they were frequently asked "Is the farm open to the public?” Inevitably they agreed to open in May 2018. Another lavender field was planted along with the building of a gift shop with adjoining porches to take in the outstanding views and enjoy locally made lavender ice cream! Several theme gardens have been added along with walking trails to a waterfall and picnic tables. Take time to visit with our many animals on the farm. With about 2,000 lavender plants and over 40 varieties in the ground their venture is truly Lavender Fields at Tantivy Farm.

Tantivy Farm in Northern Rockbridge County is open in 2026 from April 17th. through December 20th. Thursdays through Saturdays 10 am to 5 pm  and Sundays 1 pm - 5 pm. Groups, clubs and tour buses are welcome by appointment at 540-460-6347.

Full Bloom is from mid-May through the end of July, with extended hours. Live lavender plants are available for purchase in the Gift Shop along with fresh picked and dried lavender, soaps, sachets, eye pillows, bath and culinary products, ice cream and numerous other items.

For further information regarding directions to Tantivy Farm, special events and activities, please check the website at www.tantivyfarm.com.

     The Shenandoah Valley Railroad, now part of the Norfolk Southern System, runs through Buena Vista along its route at the western base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Valley Railroad, which originated in Harrisonburg, was intended to essentially parallel the Valley Pike, now U.S. 11. After leaving Staunton, it entered Rockbridge County at Raphine and continued on with stations at Midway, Fairfield, Decatur, Timber Ridge and East Lexington before culminating in Lexington. 

     In 1882, the SVRR succeeded in reaching Roanoke ahead of the VRR. Construction on the Valley Railroad had temporarily ceased in 1873, after the stretch from Harrisonburg to Staunton had been completed, because of a national financial panic. It wasn't until 10 years later that the line from Staunton to Lexington was finished. Track would never be laid south of Lexington. 

But stone culverts, bridge piers and other evidence of where the railroad was to go were built and can still be seen. Some of the most notable examples of the masonry arches and abutments constructed to span the waterways can be found in Rockbridge County along Plank Road south of Lexington. Take Rt.251 south from Lexington about 2 miles to Possum Hollow Road on the left, then about a mile to Plank Road. Follow Plank Road south; you'll see some of this spectacular stonework over the next five miles or so. 

     At the same time, we've also had our share of less than stellar characters. Charles M. Figgat was a local banker who absconded with $140,000 from the Bank of Lexington, causing its failure. Mel Greenberg came to town in 1974 purporting to be a movie producer bent on making a musical about Stonewall Jackson. He split town without paying his hotel bill and left many disappointed locals who thought they were bound for stardom. 

     The Righteous and Rascals of Rockbridge Trail commemorates some of these individuals with granite pavers set in the sidewalks of downtown Lexington. The trial will ultimately run on Main Street from McDowell to Washington between Randolph and Jefferson Streets. To date 60 pavers have been installed. 

     The Lexington Visitor Center has materials to help you follow the trail and see all pavers currently installed. You can also go to the Righteous and Rascals website for directions and for expanded biographies of those immortalized in the stone pavers: http://rrrockbridge.org/

      Stewart bequeathed the collection to Virginia Military Institute, his alma mater. Besides the fascinating collection of arms and accoutrements, Stewart’s collection contains many books and papers dealing with firearms, and over 350 government patent office models – valuable resources for serious researchers. 

      The display of firearms is part of the VMI Museum, located in Memorial Hall. The collection consists of more than 800 pieces, with the majority on display. The exhibit contains examples of well-known names in the development of the revolving cylinder firearms—sometimes called “wheel guns”-- such as Colt, and many obscure manufacturers and gunsmiths known mainly to experts and collectors. A particularly interesting display of over fifty guns traces the search in the mid-1800s for a successful revolving cylinder firearm, which could fire multiple shots before reloading. 

     Visitors can also explore one of the largest exhibits of “air rifles” in the nation. Among the most interesting individual pieces is a .30 caliber air gun many historians believe was carried by Lewis and Clark on their famous ‘Voyage of Discovery’ from 1803 to 1806. The gun operated by being pumped up to 700 pounds per square inch, and then could be fired repeatedly for up to 40 rounds. It amazed the Native Americans who saw it demonstrated, and still interests scholars today.

      Other rare and interesting pieces include the Porter revolving vertical turret rifle and the Allen and Cochran turret gun. Both were efforts to invent a successful repeating rifle in the 1800s. The Artemis Wheeler Revolving Carbine is one of only four bought by the US Navy in 1821.     

The museum is located in Memorial Hall on the VMI Post, and is open 9-5, seven days a week. Admission is $10 for adults and $6 for youth ages 6–12. Children under six are admitted free of charge. Residents of Buena Vista, Lexington, and Rockbridge County receive free admission. Visitors can save up to 30% with a bundled ticket that includes admission to the Jackson House Museum, the VMI Museum, and the Virginia Museum of the Civil War. Group rates are available with advance reservations.
