HISTORIC LEXINGTON, VA; LEE & JACKSON BEYOND THE CIVIL WAR

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Well how pretty pretty is that valley?! Watching this on TV at the moment. Rach has been Lexington Kentucky but not Lexington Virginia. The military institute looks really cool. We love watching your videos as we’re actually quite history buffs believe it or not and love learning about American history from you. Wow, the jacket with the bullet hole!!! Haha, I’d already written about being history buffs when you mentioned it yourself 😂. That burger looked pretty special too!!! Really did enjoy that both, as we do with all your vids. Nice one 🍻🤘🎸

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Thank you SO much for your kind words and for watching! Shenandoah valley is breathtaking!!! We love history and learning, cannot wait to visit the UK we love your history too!!! Appreciate your support! Hope your relaxing after your beautiful holiday! ~Cara 😊

[@judithbishop993]

I was born in Stonewall Jackson's house in 1952. It was used as a community hospital. Thank you for showing respect to Lee and Jackson. Lexington is beautiful and hospitality through it has become more politically correct.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. We learned this on our tour. Very interesting. Lexington is a lovely town we will be sure to return. ~Cara 😊

[@homespunnation]

Cara, you have done an excellent job on this youtube channel. My mom is from Lexington, and I spent a lot of time there growing up visiting relatives. When I left Lakeland in 1981, Lexington is where I moved to and lived there until 1985. I plan on retiring there. It's very beautiful.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Hey friend! Thank you for your kind words! Lexington is beautiful. I never knew you lived there how wonderful you have roots there as well! ~Cara 💖

I adore visiting historic locations, and your video has helped me learn more about US history!

We drove through Shenandoah NP and the countryside outside Virginia is stunning. This was a state I truly loved- all the rolling green hills.

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Hi and thanks, John and Cara Retired Travellers for sharing. First I would like to congratulate you on reaching a milestone "800" and more to come. I am glad that you corrected that "Lexington" VA...I was thinking of KY...😁 Well said. I always appreciate that you provide full of history and essential info through your travel. Until now, I have never known the strong bond between two gentlemen, Lee and jackson. Thank you so much for taking us a tour through your lens. Well done. 🙋‍♀🙋‍♀🛶🛶

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Thank you Ms. Kayak for your loving comment and support. We’ve been to Lexington KY and it too is a lovely town! Appreciate your support so much! Just shy away from that 800 😊~Cara

Hi Guys , missed the notification on this from a few days ago but it was great, i enjoyed this history tour with breakfast ! Lexington Virginia looks so beautiful and i loved the views over the valley there at the start that you had. I bet John especially loved the Military Institute, the building was lovely. The church was stunning and Jackson House so beautiful, really interesting history . Nice to see around the museum, we like you, love history too . The food that you had in town looked so delicious, especially the burger 😀 Great video Cara I loved it . Hope you're both well , have a great weekend :) ~ Anna 💕💕

Virginia is one our favorite states! Must visit! So much to see. We lived on the Hampton Roads peninsula for 3 years.

Appreciate your support. ~Cara 😊

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Another really well edited, spoken en presented video. You narrate so well and with interesting facts. Indeed, I sure learnt a thing or three...👍! As much as I love the English style architecture and the french chateaus, I too have a love for the beautiful American state buildings, the red brick homes and country dwellings. It never ceases to amaze me the diversity of building styles around the globe. Lexington is lovely and it sure was WOW seeing the Shenandoah Valley. I am enjoying the ride with you both a lot. Onward we travel. 🙏 💖 🇳🇿 🙋‍♀ 🇳🇱

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Thank you Anita, appreciate your kind words. Narration takes me forever and is my least favorite so I truly appreciate the encouragement! When we first arrived in the Netherlands & Europe I was in awe of the architecture. Lexington was just beautiful and Shenandoah wow I can’t wait to return! Thank you for your never ending support! ~Cara 💖

Love the view from the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. No one can truly capture the views with a camera they really do need to be seen! Enjoyed the history of Lexington and both Jackson and Lee. Two great Generals and tacticians. It's too bad it ended in such an unhappy situation. (Civil War) Thanks so much for bringing us along, John and Cara.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

In the 40's to 50's Stonewall Jackson House was an area hospital. I was born there in 1952. Lexington has gotten so progressive it has changed to The Jackson House. Stonewall Jackson Cemetary has been renamed Oak Cemetary. It was sad for most of us. You can keep your history, just tell the truth.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]
