Stratford home of the Lees becomes patriotic shrine
The Stratford house in Westmoreland County Virginia known as Stratford, birthplace of two signers of the Declaration and mother house of generations of Lees, is dedicated as a patriotic shrine after a decades long campaign. The Robert E. Lee Memorial Foundation raised funds, with major support from a Delaware donor, to acquire and restore the 200 year old brick castle overlooking the Potomac.
