Arlington National Cemetery
Location: Northern Virginia
Arlington House was seized from Confederate General Robert E. Lee after the end of the Civil War, and the land surrounding the house was made into a graveyard for soldiers. The house itself provides an interesting look into Robert E. Lee’s home life and times, while the cemetery is a beautiful if sad place to meander. On the grounds, you’ll find John F. Kennedy buried, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (always manned, whatever the weather), and other nooks of historical significance.
