Visit our  Lexington Bicentennial website.
In 2013, 200 years will have passed since Lexington was separated from Windham, and so we will celebrate our official 200th birthday. Also in that same year, Lexington, Massachusetts, the very town we were named after, will celebrate its 300th birthday. We have been in contact with both Lexington, Massachusetts, and with Goshen, Connecticut, where many of our first settlers came from, regarding this celebration.
We are currently using that site to post new information on the celebrations ahead, please be sure to check in often for the most up to date information. If you have any questions  please feel free to contact us.
