Hit these 3 museums for free Monday as Lexington puts its 250-year history on display
The weather is cold and snowy. What a wonderful Monday to spend inside three of Lexington’s historic museums. Today is “History Hop,” a celebration of Lexington’s 250-year history. It’s also President’s Day, and the Lexington History Museum, Ashland: The Henry Clay Estate and the Mary Todd Lincoln House will all be free and open to the public.
“We wanted to showcase parts of the city’s history that aren’t often known, even though these are three pretty well-known museums,” Higgins said. “We’re doing pieces that aren’t typically part of what we do.”
