If you happen to get a hold of some pictures of Lexington, Kentucky, chances are, you were able to get a glimpse of McConnell Springs. And while you will find it beautiful in the photos, you will definitely find it even more attractive once you see it for real.

And it is not only its natural beauty that makes McConnell interesting. The park also plays a significant role in the history of the town itself. It is here William McConnell and his group first settled, naming their camp Lexington in honor of one of the cities that they have fought in during the American Revolution.

McConnell?s naturally occurring springs are also environmentally important in that these serve as a breeding ground for a wide variety of birds and other animals.
