Lexington has it’s own slice of Americana, right off Richmond Rd. When we heard the Lexington Ice Center had one of the Travel Channel’s Top 10 Most Unique Miniature Golf courses in all of the United States, we wondered why no one had told us about this place before.

We’ve lived in Lexington for little over a year now, but have not done much to plug into the beautiful horse world that surrounds us. Shame on us, right?
