This area was originally settled during the great lumbering era, when the vast forests of Michigan were cut.  Many of the stately homes date from the mid- to late-1800's.

Lexington is a little town filled with Victorian architecture, boutiques, and quaint shops (including a General Store with "penny candy" counter).

The town's claim to fame is the delicious fruit pies served by the various local shops. Specialties include raspberry and cherry pies.

Lexington offers a large harbor of refuge on Lake Huron, built from gigantic boulders.  The town and surrounding areas offer some of the state's most spectacular scenery.

There are lots of special activities planned by the Lexington Promotional Committee, including free concerts in the harbor park on Friday nights in the summer, judged art fairs, and historical tours. 

Nearby you may take a personal guided tour of an operational lighthouse, visit the Lightship Museum, or stand in awe as a Great Lakes freighter passes within feet of your spot along the St. Clair River where it joins Lake Huron. 

This is the Blue Water Area -- named for the stunning sapphire blue on sunny days.

Festivals are held in June, July, August, September, and October.
