A Day in Historic Lexington

The Lee Chapel is on the campus of Washington & Lee University.


Robert E. Lee is buried inside, but not in this casket. This is a sculpture of Lee sleeping. He's actually buried in the family crypt beneath the chapel.



Lexington is also the home of Stonewall Jackson where he taught at VMI before becoming the great Civil War general. He is buried here.

Outside the front entrance of VMI are four civil war canons Jackson called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The other big shots in this picture are Julie, Caroline, David, and Marc.
