Each year, hundreds of visitors explore Stratford Hall, the home of four generations of the famed Lee Family, including the only two brothers to sign the Declaration of Independence and heroes of the American Revolution and Civil War. Now, through online and livestreamed programming, the site is expanding its educational opportunities by highlighting its features of nature as well as its historical importance.
The foremost feature of Stratford Hall, which presents a geographical phenomenon that exists in only a handful of other sites in the world, are the cliffs that tower 120 feet above the Potomac shoreline. The cliffs contain fossils and evidence of life that provide a virtual diary of the area dating back 17 million years and indicate a sea filled with ancient creatures, including saltwater crocodiles, sea turtles, rays, whales and sharks, and a forested coastline similar to South Carolina.
