And the accolades just keep on coming. Lexington was once again featured in Southern Living Magazine, this time on “The South’s Best Cities 2025" list. And to sweeten the news, we landed at No. 10 on the list of 20, beating out cities like Austin, TX and Orlando, FL.
The voting process was conducted via online survey given to Southern Living readers July 10-August 21 of 2024.
While the listing noted that the scenery alone made the Horse Capital of the World worth the trip, it specifically cited attractions like Shaker Village, our bustling + busy downtown, as well as Greyline Station.
If you’re thinking, “Didn’t we just see this news already?” You’re not wrong, Lexington is making headlines. Let’s recap:
