I may be remembering wrong -- it's been about 10 years since I've been to Lexington -- but I think it's on Letcher Avenue between W&L and VMI. My memory is that we came upon it walking from W&L to VMI, and that it was on the left side of the road as one walks toward VMI.

Where's breathesgelatin? She could tell us.

So cool, I need to make it up there sometime. How long is that walk from W&L to VMI???? I didn't realize they were that close.

A block or two. The two campuses are adjacent to each other.

Definitely worth a trip.

ETA: Banditone, you and Kevin both said earlier that you thought the Lexington Triad marker might be at VMI -- Kevin said maybe on the parade grounds. It just occured to me that there is a rock monument inside the gates of "the post" (the VMI campus), on the edge of the parade grounds, that commemorates the founding of Sigma Nu and notes the original location of "The Rock." Here's a picture from Sigma Nu's website:



I wonder if this is the marker y'all were thinking of being at VMI.

In any event, Kevin's story, whether Greek urban legend or not, makes me a little more comfortable with my memory that the Lexington Triad marker is between the two campuses.
