About Us
Historic Lexington Foundation (HLF) is a not-for-profit organization promoting the preservation of the rich architectural and related historic resources of Rockbridge County, Virginia. Incorporated in 1966, at a time when many of Lexington’s buildings were threatened with demolition by neglect, HLF today supports and interprets the heritage and fabric of Lexington, Buena Vista and Rockbridge County.
Our recent and prospective activities include the following:
Protecting the area’s pervasive and important architectural history
Restoring Lexington’s historic cemeteries and illuminating the lives of those who are buried in them
Conserving and encouraging greater appreciation of other historic cemeteries throughout Rockbridge County
Shining a light on the legacy of slavery in Rockbridge
Preserving historic county schools that are threatened by neglect
Celebrating and promoting the area’s historic barns
Informing and inspiring the community through publications, tours, programs and similar activities.
