Visit Stratford Hall Plantation, this is a great time of year to enjoy the backcountry of the Northern Neck of Virginia and discover how the leader's of the south lived. Experience plantation life as lived by the Lees of Stratford - colonists, revolutionaries, nation builders and secessionists. Stratford Hall offers a tranquil setting with leisure activities for families. Check their website for a list activities such as wine tastings, concerts, fairs, war reenactments, classes lectures and beach combing for fossils. Take a tour and hear the "back room" stores of the Lee family and how they lived almost entirely off the land in the first half of the 18th century. The family occupied the main floor of the 10,000 square-foot home, which is still fully furnished and includes the baby crib of Robert E. Lee. Plan a week and enjoy the accomodations at the Dragon Inn as you enjoy stepping back into history.
