There is so little left of the historic buildings in Northern Virginia, that you really should make a visit here. This is a well-restored plantation on beautiful grounds. The docent-led tours are great. While it is open all year, see if you can find out when they have their candle-lit tour around Christmas. You can find this place only be... More

One of the best tours of houses in this area. Excellent, detailed tour of a plantation and it's surroundings.

We enjoy going to historic, preserved buildings. We walked around the property and had an interesting tour of the house. I took many notes for my photo scrapbook.

This plantation is right along Virginia Highway 28, a major local road connecting I-66 with Dulles International Airport. The buildings are well-preserved and the docents seem knowledgeable about the plantation era. It is also very close to the Udvar-Hazy branch of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. The hardy tourist could easily visit the past and the future in one... More

Sully Plantation is a rural island in an urban sea. From the tranquility of the site, one would scarcely guess that Dulles International Airport and a section of the National Air and Space Museum (the one with the space shuttle) are nearby. Sully was the 1794 home of Richard Bland Lee, brother of Henry "Lighthorse Harry" Lee and the uncle... More

Very pretty grounds with helpful and informative staff. I go every year to the car show that's held every Father's Day. If you're in the DC metro area with time to kill, it's a nice peaceful place to visit. However, I wouldn't plan a vacation around it.

We've lived in the area for almost seven years, but finally took the time to go to the Sully Plantation. We were always going to stop by with out of town visitors, but it just wasn't happening. The tour of the home was great. Laurie did an outstanding job and was very informative. A walk around the grounds in the... More

My wife and I had a couple hours to kill before we needed to be at Dulles for our flight back to the West Coast. Sully Plantation really filled the bill! Sully is different from the big plantations we had visited in North and South Carolina, being smaller and less ornate. The tour guide was quite knowledgeable, and very friendly.... More

This is one of the smaller plantations, and as such is more easily understood. The house is smaller and more low-key in its furnishings. Battle recreations are also held here.
