One of The Loudoun House’s current exhibits features work from The Lexington Senior Center Bell House Painters. This post, along with the multiple asks we’ve received from our readers, got us thinking — what activities in our community are available for adults 60+?
The city provides places for older adults to connect through programs and services at four locations around Lexington. Think: Educational activities, fitness classes, and resource assistance. All Fayette County residents ages 60+ are eligible to participate.
