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.




Salona, Fairfax County, Virginia


Book Description

"At the edge of the busy commercial area of the community of McLean, hidden from the heavy traffic on Dolley Madison Boulevard by a natural screen of trees and shrubs, stands the substantial brick dwelling known as Salona." This book traces the history of this iconic house with associations to many American historical moments. It was to Salona that President James Madison fled to in August 1814 as British forces burned the new federal city, including the White House, during the 'Burning of Washington'. The mansion house also became headquarters for General George B. McClellan and other Union commanders during the American Civil War.
