Happy Birthday, Robert E. Lee
Robert E. Lee’s birthplace, Stratford Hall, located on Virginia’s Northern Neck. Lee was born on this date back in 1807, which would make him 208 years old today.

Lee’s childhood home used to be a museum in Alexandria – some years ago the owners, IIRC, of Stonewall’s house in Lexington, sold it to some DC yuppies. http://www.nytimes.com/2000/03/12/us/robert-e-lee-s-childhood-home-is-sold.html
A shame since it provided an fascinating contrast with Stratford House!
