Traveller and Robert E. Lee in Lexington Virginia

I wanted to make sure that I posted a few more Lee related photos from our visit to Lexington.

The top photo is the home of the President of Washington and Lee College (the house is called, Lee House).  It is the same home that was build for RE Lee when he became President of the college.  He died in the dining room of the home.  The college did not want to evict Lee's widow- so George Washington Custis Lee was elected the new President.  He would serve the college as President from 1871-1897 and he is now in the family crypt at Lee Chapel.

The next photo shows the green stable doors open.  I have always heard that Mrs. Lee asked that they be left open, even after her husband and Traveller's death, so that visitors could see where Traveller had lived.  One person in Lexington told us that he always heard that the doors were left open for the spirit of Traveller.

The next photo is a photo taken inside of the stable.

The last two photos are from the final resting place of Traveller.  Lee's favorite horse is buried right outside of Lee Chapel, just steps from General Lee.
