Review:

McConnell Springs is a sprawling nature park located within Lexington city limits. However, the park is best known for its historical significance for the city itself. A group of settlers, led by a man named William McConnell, reached this location in 1775, and developed a small establishment on the banks of the springs. In honor of an early Revolutionary War battle, the site was named Lexington.

The park is now preserved and contains trails reaching two miles long, including a paved half-mile loop. The park is also home to several historical artifacts, including the remnants of historical farm buildings, a dam, an old creamery, and historic stone fences.
