Sully Historic Site


Book Description

This book tells the history of the house called Sully, built in 1793 by Richard Bland Lee and now owned and managed by Fairfax County, VA. Lee was the first Congressman of Northern Virginia, a key player in the Compromise of 1790 that established Washington DC as our capital, and the uncle of Robert E. Lee. The story traces the historical events that impacted the house and its inhabitants, including the Civil War when both armies camped on the property. A section of the book contains photos of the house, inside and out, with a commentary about the function of each room and building in the Federal period.

Washington Dulles International Airport


Book Description

Washington Dulles International Airport is one of the three major airports that transports passengers into and out of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The beauty of the site is admired not only by millions who arrive and leave the area, but by local residents as well. After an extensive study of three separate locations in Virginia, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower agreed to the Chantilly site and later chose to rename the world's first jet airport after his former secretary of state, John Foster Dulles. Renowned architect Eero Saarinen designed the magnificent building that serves as a gateway in and out of the United States. Today, the once peaceful farming area and small villages have turned into a fast-paced business world filled with thousands of new homes and residents.
