The museums on the Campus are engaging and thorough. The employees and students are very helpful in getting you around and directing you through the campus.
I was there briefly but loved the historic feel of VMI. Ohio has nothing like that. The castle like aspect of the buildings looked like a Hollywood set.
I love walking through the VMI campus, it's so cool to see the cadets doing their exercises and drills and they're all so polite. On a beautiful fall day you could spend some time just taking in the scenery.
VMI is the best Military College in the Nation. The VMI Corps of Cadets is composed of the finest young men and women this country has to offer.
We visited VMI our a recent trip to Lexington VA. The campus is on a lovely hill overlooking part of the town. There's VMI Museum and Gen George Marshall Museum to tour. The cadets are all very handsome in their white uniforms and greeted us by tipping their hat and saying "Good morning, Mam - Sir". Very impressive.
Go for a public Friday 4:30 afternoon parade show !In the fall you might be able to catch a parade show at 10:30 amevery other saturday before a football game.Museum is really nice.
We drove through this wonderful institute while visiting Lexington, VA. The place was deserted as it was during the Holiday season. It gave us an opportunity to really have a nice look. The architecture is amazing, the grounds are well kept and it just emits History! We are so glad we had a chance to explore this amazing area! Do not hesitate if considering visiting; you will not be sorry!
The Virginia military institute is wonderful. Lots of great history and the campus is beautiful. The museum was awesome and I learned a lot about our history in it. The gift shop was awesome. Great prices. Got a few gifts and souvenirs for people in my family. Would love to go back again and explore more of the area.
This place seems off limits but there are lots of things to see. Museums open to public, parades on most Friday afternoons.
Anyone looking to visit Lexington VA should find time to take a guided tour of this historical 'school' We were taken round by a female cadet who showed a lot of her pride in the Institute. It was quite a sight seeing all the students being put through their paces. Quite made my day being addresed as Marm at every turn. Lots of history to learn about as well
