National Memorials - Virginia

Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial

9/21/1996 Walked up to Arlington House-Robert E. Lee Memorial. Lee lived here before resigning his commission and joining the Confederacy. Magnificent view of D.C. from here, with views of the Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington Monument/Memorials, and the Capital.

Period furnishings and details

The view of DC

11/9/2008 Walked from there down and back up to the Robert E. Lee home (Arlington House - NPS). The views downtown from here are fantastic; unfortunately the views inside the house were not, due to a renovation project. Walked through the mostly empty rooms of the house Lee lived in before joining the Confederacy.

Looking up from Arlington

Nice house ...

... with classic details

Good view of DC over the fall trees
