2021 Lexington Inspiration Guide - 25

Rockbridge Vineyard &
Brewery and a namesake
craft beer-Lime Kiln
Pale Ale-offered by
Devils Backbone Brewing
Company.
A nostalgic 1950s pastime-also
under the stars-is alive and well
at Hull's Drive-In, one of the only
remaining drive-in movie theaters
in Virginia. Community owned, it's
a passionate endeavor that brings
carloads of families together to watch
the latest box office releases every
summer weekend. Drop the tailgate,
shake out a quilt, or pop up a few
camp chairs to treat yourselves to a
cool country evening you're sure to
remember.
Big-screen acting isn't the only kind
of acting you can witness in Lexington
and Buena Vista. The Lenfest Center
for the Arts at Washington and
Lee University hosts student and
faculty productions, visiting troupes
and community performances. It's
also home to Staniar Gallery, a
1,300 square foot exhibition space for
contemporary and historical works of
art. The Reeves Ceramics Museum
showcases Asian, European, and
American ceramics spanning some
4,000 years, as well as original work
of Louise Herreshoff Reeves, an early
20th c. American painter noted for
her Impressionist and Fauvist works.
The university's Watson Galleries
showcase the Senshin'an Japanese Tea
Room and two rotating art exhibits.
At Southern Virginia University,
Chandler Hall is where you'll find
the latest performances from SVU
students. Typically, four works are
produced and performed each year,
giving a nod to holidays, comedies and
iconic playwrights.
One of the " can't miss " shows in
Lexington is the Virginia Military
Institute Corps of Cadets Dress
Parade. Usually demonstrated Friday
afternoons, a 45-minute traditional
parade of rifle drills wows the crowd
and hopefully wows the reviewing
officer as well.
One of our largest family and music
venues is Glen Maury Park in Buena
Vista, where annual events include
Maury River Fiddlers Convention,
Beach Music Festival, Labor Day
Festival and Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass
Festival.
The fashions of fun in Lexington,
Buena Vista and Rockbridge County
are broad and deep, and range from
the classical to the whimsical, with lots
in between.
