Remembering Lexington Past Hotel and Harman Family Lore
Uncle Josh recollects Lexington long ago focusing on the Harman home and hotel site. He details the Harman family, the Harman Hotel built by Mayer, later owned by Reuben Harman, the court square offices, post office, and notable lawyers and officials who frequented the area, plus local life, churches, and community events from the Civil War era through postwar years. He also notes the era’s commerce, the Dutch oven kitchen, and the evolving town scene with schools, roads, and public notices toward a broader portrait of the town’s history.
