Arlington House, also known as the Robert E. Lee Memorial, stands atop a hill within Arlington National Cemetery, offering sweeping vistas of Washington, D.C. Built in the early 19th century by George Washington Parke Custis, step-grandson of George Washington, the mansion later became home to Confederate General Robert E. Lee before the Civil War. Today, visitors can explore its restored period rooms, learn about the complex history of the Custis and Lee families, and reflect on the nation’s lineage of conflict and unity. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the hilly grounds, and take time to pause at the house’s porch for an impressive panoramic view.
