Stratford Hall is a historic house museum near Lerty in Westmoreland County, Virginia. It was the plantation house of four generations of the Lee family of Virginia (with descendants later to expand to Maryland and other states).
Stratford Hall is a 1,500-acre plantation located in Westmoreland County on the Potomac River.

Stratford Hall is my favorite day-trip destination on Virginia's Northern Neck. It's known as Robert E. Lee's birthplace, but it is far more than just another shrine to Lee. The credit for this architectural beauty goes to R. E. Lee's ancestors--the prominent Lee family.
