Lexington Cemetery offers public viewing of Confederate Statues

This morning, the public will be able to view the statues of John Hunt Morgan and John Breckinridge at Lexington Cemetery.

According to the City, private money and donations were used to relocate these statues.

Breckinridge was Vice-President of the United States and Confederate Secretary of War.

Morgan was a Confederate General.

Both Morgan and Breckinridge are buried at Lexington Cemetery.
