The Lexington Genealogical and Historical Society, Inc. (a.k.a. "The Fort") was founded in 1965 by Verda Gerwick and is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to encourage genealogy, promote local history, and assist others in gathering genealogical and historical information. The society is dedicated to tasks of collecting, researching, and preserving local genealogical and historical information. Our geographic scope of coverage is McLean, Livingston, Ford and Woodford counties. We are operated solely by volunteer help, and supported by membership dues and research donations. Our library is open to the general public for research. |

Stay on that road as it goes around the curve in front of the Freedom Gas Station to the four way stop at Rt. 66. Go straight. You will cross railroad tracks, then two and a half more blocks in the middle of the block on the right you will see "The Fort" next to the alley. | |||
