Fun Facts

Sully Historic Site was built in 1794 by Richard Bland Lee, Northern Virginia's first representative to Congress and the uncle of Robert E. Lee.

The main house at Sully Historic Site is a blend of Georgian and Federal architectural styles, reflecting the transitional period of American architecture in the late 18th century.

The site includes original outbuildings such as a kitchen, smokehouse, and slave quarters, providing insight into the daily operations of a plantation during that era.

Sully Historic Site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is maintained by the Fairfax County Park Authority to preserve its historical integrity.

The site is located near Dulles International Airport, and its preservation was a key factor in the airport's planning to ensure the historic site's protection from development.
