Transportation
The nearest airports to Lexington are Roanoke Regional Airport (50 miles south) and the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (75 miles northeast). The symposium will take place on the Virginia Military Institute Post, with ancillary activities elsewhere in Lexington. These sites are within walking distance for serious walkers with comfortable shoes, but otherwise are an easy drive.
Parking
Because of severely limited parking on the VMI Post, participants should plan to carpool from their lodgings to sessions and meals. Maps will be provided showing parking areas and locations of symposium activities.
Accommodations
Participants are responsible for making their own housing arrangements and may select from a variety of motels, inns, and over two dozen bed-and-breakfast establishments in Lexington and Rockbridge County. For more information on the wide variety of lodging options in the community, go to www.lexingtonvirginia.com and select “lodging” from the menu. Participants are encouraged to make reservations immediately because events at the Virginia Horse Center and the local colleges create stiff competition for available rooms.
For the convenience of symposium registrants, the Stonewall Jackson House has reserved blocks of rooms at five local motels located close to the Route 11 – I-64 interchange. These blocks will be held until May 1, 2016, for symposium participants. To reserve a room, please contact the inn directly, and be sure to say that you are attending the Stonewall Jackson Symposium.
