LEXINGTON BOASTS THREE FABULOUS MUSEUMS TO VISIT AT NO CHARGE THIS WEEKEND!

THE LEXINGTON HISTORICAL MUSEUM

WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY MUSEUM

THE ANDERSON HOUSE AT BATTLE OF LEXINGTON STATE HISTORIC PARK

The Lexington Historical Museum is home to many interesting artifacts including the contents from the recently opened time capsule at last year's Bicentennial Celebration buried in 1972 (Lexington's Sesquicentennial).

The Museum is located in the former Cumberland Presbyterian Church which was built in 1846.

112 S. 13th Street Lexington, MO 64067

Wentworth Military Academy Museum is open at its new location as of last Fall. A beautiful site to behold both inside and outside on the grounds behind the museum.

On April 7, 2017 the Wentworth Military Academy (WMA) Board of Trustees voted to close the Academy based on declining enrollment, an aging campus, and a lack of financial support for continued operations. Wentworth is the oldest military academy west of the Mississippi River, steeped in 137 years of excellence. This abrupt announcement, effective May 31, 2017, left the “Old Boy” Alumni uncertain about the future of the historically significant memorabilia that transformed the otherwise brick and mortar campus into hallowed ground, memorializing the tremendous sacrifices and accomplishments of the many Old Boy “greats.”

This small academy nestled near the banks of the Missouri River in Lexington, MO has produced countless military leaders such as General Hoge, General Welsh, and two Medal of Honor Recipients; business leaders such as James “Bud” Walton, and Eddie Chiles; arts and media greats such as Robert Altman and Marlin Perkins; sports pioneers such as George Rody and Ben Jones; and public servants such as former Ambassador Charles H. Price II and U.S. Congressman Ike Skelton who served 34 years in public office and as chairman of the House Armed Service Committee. Their legacies have left an indelible mark on each respective field of expertise.

100 S 13th Street Lexington, MO 64067

The Battle of Lexington State Historic Site is a state-owned property located in the city of Lexington, Missouri. The site was established in 1958 to preserve the grounds where an American Civil War battle took place in 1861 between Confederate troops led by Major-General Sterling Price and federal troops led by Colonel James A. Mulligan. The site offers a short battlefield loop trail, picnicking, and tours of the battlegrounds and Oliver Anderson mansion.[
