McConnell Springs is a National Registered Historic Site owned by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government and managed by its Division of Parks and Recreation. McConnell Springs is a 26-acre natural area containing a variety of geologic, cultural, and historic features. The park hosts trails that wander through areas with natural springs, sinkholes, stone fences, and unique vegetation. Hunters encamped near the spring named their settlement Lexington when they received word of the opening battle of the Revolutionary War.
