Our Story

The Lexington Auditorium and Civic Center has a rich history in Lafayette County, Missouri. Lovingly restored, The LEX is once again a premier venue for concerts, community activities, weddings, meetings and more. Our goal is to provide unforgettable experiences for all our guests.

The Municipal Auditorium, as it was formerly known, was a focal point of our community from the very beginning. Built in 1939 as a Works Project Administration (WPA) project, the venue immediately became a source of pride for Lexington. It was used well and often over the years as a gathering place for dances, proms, festivals, concerts, rock-n-roll shows, youth activities and reunions.
