About this activity

Step into the gritty heart of Lexington’s industrial past along Manchester Street. This immersive walking tour explores how rail spurs, limestone waters, and nineteenth-century whiskey factories survived catastrophic fires, ruin, and decades of abandonment to emerge as an energetic cultural corridor. Walk alongside urban planner Tom and local friend Amelia as they uncover hidden creeks, worker break rooms, freight depots, and working copper stills. It is a sensory journey through fermentation, architecture, and the raw grit of genuine adaptive reuse.
