Lexington - The Movie

Lexington - The Movie - Part 2

A second DVD video about Lexington has been created from old home movies, videos, and photographs from various sources. It runs for approximately 55 minutes and has footage of literally hundreds of people who lived in and around Lexington during the 1900-1970 time frame. I'm sure that you will cherish this video if you or your family lived in Lexington during that time period. If you want to know if you or your loved one appear in this movie just ask (email: rdkone@aol.com or call or write). The movie includes:
