Many states have towns named "Lexington", but only one claims to be the "Barbecue Capital of the World." More than 20 restaurants serve up pork shoulder barbecue cooked over hot wood coals - in a town of 20,000 people! One restaurant has been named the best in the world! You never know who's going to sit down beside you - movie stars, governmental leaders, major sport figures and other notables. Keep your camera and autograph book handy!

After you finish your plate of food, explore Lexington. It offers the hustle and bustle of a big city in a small historical village. Not only is the shopping fun and exciting, but major attractions are only minutes away.

So come enjoy world-famous barbecue, Childress Vineyard, The Bob Timberlake Gallery, Richard Childress Racing Museum and Shop Tours, High Rock Lake and Historic Uptown Lexington.
