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.
