In addition to the magnificent view of the city, the history of the property and its residents is interesting. It was designed by the G.W.P. Custis, the adopted son of George Washington, built in memory of his adoptive father. The property was farmed by 200 slaves, although there is evidence of a woman born here as a slave. It was also here that Custi's daughter Mary Anna married the future General of the Confederate Army Robert Edward Lee in 1830, who lived here for 30 years.

The story is well described on many information boards.

From here you have a beautiful view of downtown Washington and can see as far as the Capitol

Museum that also commemorates General Lee, who left the Union Army at the outbreak of the Civil War and joined the Confederate Army. For those not so interested in the American Civil War, the inventory of the house is worth seeing.
