Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial, located in Arlington County, Virginia, is a historic mansion that once served as the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Originally built between 1802 and 1818 by George Washington Parke Custis, the adopted grandson of George Washington, the estate overlooks the Potomac River and offers a commanding view of Washington, D.C. The property became a national memorial dedicated to Lee in 1955, recognizing his role in American history. Today, the site serves both as a museum and a place of reflection, preserving the complex legacy of its former residents.
