LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Town Branch Fund announced a $500,000 donation from the William Stamps Farish Fund for Town Branch Park.

According to the Town Branch Fund, the donation will go towards the trail heads that connect 22-miles of biking/walking trails leading from downtown Lexington to rural landscape.
