Arlington National Cemetery
Arlington, Va.
Arlington House was originally the home of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, who lost the property during the Civil War. The grounds were turned into Arlington National Cemetery in 1864 by Brig. Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, who turned the land into a military cemetery so that Lee wouldn't be able to live there if he returned.
