Sully Plantation is in Chantilly Va just two towns away where we are in Manassas. It is on property owned by the FAA where the Dulles Airport is. It is almost adjacent to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. This place was owned by Richard Blanford Lee, the Uncle of Robert E Lee of Civil War Fame. The Plantation is furnished with period pieces that were not all owned by the Lees but were authentic for the era. The home was beautiful and was also very eductional. Since there had been no slave house on the property there is a brand new slave's quarters. The site holds programs for kids from local schools and has a nice walking trail. It was cold on the day we went so we skipped the trail. Sunday, March 23, 2008
