The Boyhood Home of Robert E. Lee is a historic site located in Alexandria, Virginia, USA. It was the childhood home of Robert E. Lee, who would later become a prominent military figure during the American Civil War as the commanding general of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
The home, known as the Lee-Fendall House, was built in the late 18th century and was originally owned by Philip Richard Fendall, a wealthy plantation owner. The Lee family moved into the house in 1812 when Robert E. Lee was just five years old. He lived there until he left for West Point in 1825.
Today, the Lee-Fendall House is a museum open to the public, offering guided tours that provide insights into the life and times of the Lee family during the early 19th century. Visitors can explore the historic rooms, view period furnishings and artifacts, and learn about the house's architectural significance.
