Stratford Hall (Westmoreland County, Va.)
Stratford Hall was the home of four generations of the Lee family, which included two signers of the Declaration of Independence, and was the birthplace of General Robert E. Lee. The plantation currently encompasses nearly 2,000 acres and borders two miles of Potomac River shoreline. Thomas Lee built the historic Great House circa 1738 and began to build a family empire based on the export of tobacco, the production of which required a large labor force.
