Cyrus McCormick Farm - This 634 acre farm is now a research station operated by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). A restored blacksmith shop, gristmill and museum are open to the public, and provide a look at McCormick the man and his invention.

Lee Chapel - A Romanesque chapel, formally named for General Lee after his death. It houses Lee's Office and the Lee Museum on the lower level. The remains of Lee's beloved horse, Traveller, are interred in a plot beside the chapel.

Woods Creek Park And The Chessie Nature Trail - The park contains open spaces and a playground area near the south end of the park. Going north on the trail, one walks along Woods Creek through groves of pines, cleared forest, grassy areas, and back through cleared areas at the north end of the trail. Hikers wishing to continue onto the Chessie Nature Trail will find relics of an old railroad and of the canal that came up the Maury River to Lexington.
