Former VP takes to the air in Lexington
Jamie Millard, president of the Lexington History Museum, had a video camera running as workers moved the statue of former Vice President John Cabell Breckinridge across Cheapside to make way for construction of the new market house. Pretty cool. (Note Herald-Leader chief photographer Charles Bertram shooting photos the whole time.)
By the way, the museum today opened a new exhibit, which looks at the Lexington of 1810. It includes historic documents and a map showing Lexington’s surviving 200-year-old structures. The display is within the permanent exhibit, Lexington: Athens of the West.
Located in the old Fayette County Courthouse, 215 W. Main St., The Lexington History Museum is open Friday through Monday, Noon to 4 p.m, and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, call (859) 254-0530, or visit www.LexingtonHistoryMuseum.org.
