Considering that Lexington, VA is the home of VMI, it is the antithesis of a liberal college town. This was where Thomas Jackson taught, and no one in Lexington can forget that for a second.
And W&L (Washington and Lee University)
The only house Jackson ever owned is in Lexinton, and tours are available. We need a Jackson today.
Yes, I’m proud the town where my alma mater resides made the list. It’s a beautiful town, and I’m glad I was there yesterday. :)
W&L is a rather conservative school too. Not as conservative as VMI, but still rather conservative.
I’ve heard that home prices in Lexington have blown up since its discovery. Shame. It was on my list.
