BIG THANKS to the Lexington Garden Club members Fran Thurmond and Diane Rhea, with help from Calvin McKinney and Daniel Hogsett, for recently clearing limbs, debris and overgrowth from the Lundy House and Lexington Library.

And a shout-out to FOLP members Phil Williamson and Charlie Bowie for always pitching in and keeping the lawn looking great! 🌳🌿💚

Another early photo of the Lundy House, courtesy of the Lexington Garden Club’s 1976 collection of Lexington’s history. Belinda Stewart Architects, PA and MDAH Historic Preservation Division have provided invaluable guidance in preserving and restoring the home’s historic details.

Restoration of the front porch was made possible by funding from the MS Department of Archives and History, Mississippi Arts Commission, Community Foundation for Mississippi, and Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area. We are grateful for their support in bringing this important Lexington landmark back to life!
