House of Lee
Arlington House, former home of
Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee,
has been renovated and is once
again open to the public. Located

the structure is just a “cannon shot”
from the White House.

Tough times
If these Confederate soldiers don’t look too healthy – particularly
the one in the middle – they’re not. They’re among the more
than 35 scenes and 300 life-size figures in the wax museum at
Gettysburg. See Briefs
A spokesman directs visitors to Gettysburg’s Civil War Wax
Museum. The museum is up for sale with an asking price of
$1.7 million. See Briefs.
Jackson’s arm
Stonewall Jackson's left arm is interred separately from the rest of his
body. The arm was amputated eight days before Jackson died from
pneumonia. Visitors often place roses at the grave where Jackson’s arm
is buried near the Chancellorsville battlefield.
