I had previously went here with my kids about 15 years ago and since Tony and I were in the area I decided to stop again.
It was very easy to find close to Colonial Beach VA in the same area where other famous people were born and lived

Stratford Hall is the birthplace and Childhood home of Robert E Lee in 1807 and his siblings. I am a history major and my dream job was to be a history teacher but I never made it. So, when my kids and nieces & nephew was growing up I dragged them on field trips back in time and they actually LOVED it!!!! As adults now, they tell me it's some of their favorite childhood memories.

Stratford Hall is a gorgeous working (still today) Plantation. There is a gorgeous Great House, tons of out buildings and barns.
Built in 1730 by Thomas Lee, its still one of the greatest homes ever built in American History.
Over 2000 acres spread out along the banks of the Potomac River. Lee Family had various notable descendants born and raised here.
Including 2 Signers of the Declaration of Independence : Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee. Also American Revolution War Hero "Light Horse Harry" Lee father of Robert E Lee.

The Grounds Pass for $8 per adult and $5 per child gives you access to the property for the hiking trails, public grounds, beach area access and gardens BUT not to the Great House or other buildings.

General adult admission tickets for the Driving Tour that is audio to 28 stops is $12 each and $5 per child. This is the one we chose to do today.
Currently due to Covid-19 the Great Hall and Buildings are closed.
If in the area, I highly recommend you to check it out. Amazing how in 9 years, it will be 300 yrs old!!
