Hey I just retired to Lexington Va. We have the graveyard, the home and the university that Stonewall Jackson taught at: VMI. The horse and buggy carriage historical tours is part of the historical aura of the town, the information is insightful and the clip clop of the horses is so relaxing to hear. I volunteer as a docent at the Stonewall Jackson house, and I walk through the graveyard daily as part of my exercise routine. The beautiful setting of the Blue Ridge mountains and the Shenandoah valley are magnificent. Very little crime, and a low cost of living are benefits as well.
