Take a tour or do a bunch of walking. It's your choice, but this place is full of history and very heavy on the heart.

The history shared of Arlington House has expanded a lot from my last memories of visiting many, many years ago. The addition of the history and discussion about the slaves of Arlington House and their decendents was highly educational. Within Arlington Cemetary, this portion is run by the National Parks there is a Junior Ranger program for those interested.

The house was small and not air conditioned. Not even fans. The slave quarters were also not air conditioned. It was really tight to move around in. You could not go upstairs.The gift shop and rest rooms are air conditioned. There is a water filling station there too.It has spectacular views.

Was Lee perfect? Of course not! Was he the devil in human form? Also, of course not.The Arlington House and Memorial surprised me with how well they treated this part of history. Instead of giving opinions, they presented "just the facts" allowing you to form your own opinions about what may have been the most conflicted man in America.The fact that the Lincoln Memorial is directly opposite the Arlington House isn't an accident. It was designed to reinforce the belief that unity is the only way forward.

A lot of historical information and education to gain from a visit here. The property has been well maintained through the years, and it's history has remained intact.Priceless historical artifacts available to view, which really creates a connection with the past.

This is a MUST SEE place in Arlington National cemetery! It is also the only place that I am aware of that is owned by the National Parks Service meaning you get stamps for your NPS Passport!You’ll find some behind the front door and the rest in the gift shop to the right of the Arlington House.

A must-stop on any visit to Arlington National Cemetery, the house is essentially and literally where it all began. See the first graves from 1864 adjacent to the Custis-Lee garden that transformed and enshrined the plantation-turned-memorial garden. The house also includes the office room where Lee made his fateful decision to leave the U.S. Army and instead lead the army of the rebellion. Bonus views of Washington, DC, across the Potomac provide historical and aesthetical perspective.

We visited the house during a tour of the Cemetery. We almost missed it since it's the last tram stop before heading back to the Visitor Center and the stormy weather tempted us to stay on board. But I am glad we risked the rains! This place is very well-curated. My absolute favorite part of the collection were the rooms adjacent to the smokehouse in the slave quarters. The stories told through the artifacts and visual aids are truly amazing and shed light on an extremely important side of the grounds' history. The rangers were helpful and great sources of supplemental information throughout the grounds. The vistas of the city from the front of the mansion and the garden are breathtaking.Be sure to visit before leaving the cemetery!
