This beautiful colonial mansion, built in a unique H shape, on the bank of the Potomac River, is the birthplace of Robert E. Lee, and ancestral home of the Lee dynasty, leaders of Colonial Virginia, signers of the Declaration of Independence and heroes of the American Revolution. If you really do happen to be curious about these historic sites in Westmoreland, and only have time for GW's birthplace or here, we suggest here, as it's quite stunning, and in aggregate, more worth the visit.
