Beauty and serenity come to downtown Lexington in this hidden gem! Need to clear your head? Admire God's handiwork? Need peace in the middle of your busy life? This is the place!!! Rushing waters, a quiet pond, history at its finest. You will encounter so much wildlife- fish, turtles, butterflies, bees, bats and waterfowl all have a home here. Bat houses spread throughout make it a virtually mosquito-free paradise (no worries if they scare you- I did not see a single bat the entire time). Easy to follow trail markers make it a breeze to navigate! Children will love watching the turtles sunbathe, the fish coming up to you in the pond or seeing the butterflies flutter by, as well as experiencing the boiling springs. Historical markers throughout so you learn the rich history of this charming place. Signs by several different trees for identification. They encourage social distancing, and masks are only required if you go inside the building to use the restroom or pick up information. The rest of the main building is closed due to Covid as of 9/4/20. If you have the chance to go, please go. It's food for your tired soul.
