Lexington, Virginia

Budget Travel magazine just released its list of America's Coolest Small Towns and Lexington, Virginia made the cut:

What constitutes a "cool" town? According to the article:

“Every now and then, you stumble upon a town that’s gotten everything right—great coffee, food with character, shop owners with purpose."

Lexington is all that and much more. The town is home to some great history. Both Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are buried there. And the George Marshall Museum keeps the legacy alive for the great soldier and diplomat who guided World War II policy and then helped rebuild Europe.

So the next time you're in Western Virginia, stop by Lexington and experience some history.
