Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

  • Home to world-famous barbecue, championship-winning NASCAR drivers, and award-winning wineries, Lexington, North Carolina is one of America's hidden gems.
  • It has plenty of things for visitors to see and do, including lesser-known attractions like historical museums and memorials, local art galleries, and a beautiful park with a 140-foot-long cave where pioneer Daniel Boone is said to have hid out during his early years here.
  • Of course, you'll need to make time for a meal at one of the city's famous barbecue joints, but true barbecue aficionados should also try to be here for the annual Barbecue Festival in April.
