LEESYLVANIA
This historically important property was part of a land grant dating back to 1658 and was the site of "Leesylvania," the home of Henry Lee II (1729-1789). The Neabsco Iron Foundry, which was located nearby, furnished "Pig Iron and Shot" to the Virginia Navy and also helped to equip the Commonwealth's militia during the Revolution.
