The Robert E. Lee Museum at Arlington House contains exhibits and artifacts about Robert E. Lee and his family. Included are original objects from the Lee and Custis families.
The museum is open almost every day of the year from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The museum is closed on Christmas and New Years Day, as is Arlington House and Arlington National Cemetery.
