Listen: Welcome to Sully Historic Site
An oasis of the past, Sully reflects the history of Fairfax County. Completed in 1799 by Richard Bland Lee, the main house at Sully combines aspects of Georgian and Federal architecture. Richard Bland Lee was Northern Virginia's first Representative to Congress, as well as General Robert E. Lee's uncle.
On the National Register
for Historic Places, and accredited by the American Association of
Museums, Sully also includes original outbuildings, representative
slave quarter and gardens. Guided tours highlight the early 19th

County through the 20th century.
