Birthplace of Robert E Lee 1807 - 1870
Our visit was on his birthday January this year.
Home to two signers of Declaration of Independence - Richard Henry lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee
Black Horse Harry Lee and wife Ann lost a daughter - Margaret at age two, fell down the steps here and died.
Steps shown are replacements and I don't know when they were replaced.
There are some ghost stories associated with this home as with many of the historical homes I have visited.
sharing with Willy Nilly friday

Nice shots. When we visited some years back we did not see any ladies in costume.
What fun! I would love to be there!
Thank you for visiting my blog over at Out and About. My daughter and I did have such a nice time. I enjoy historic homes and when we lived in the USA I enjoyed visiting them--got it from my mom who would cart us around visiting antebellum homes and civil war graveyards.
I have always loved Stratford Hall! Great post!
