Very nice tour and house of George Marshall. Tickets are not required in advance, and as I wasn't…read moresure when I'd be in town, we just called to confirm they were open for a tour, and that worked out. Just look up the address of where to park (as it's in the back on a different street) and you're good to go. The tour starts off with an informative movie. The house stayed with Marshall's family until it became a public historical site, so all the rooms were just as he left them. The tour guide had a lot of good stories about the private life of Marshall, which was really interesting to hear about. I'm glad the house was preserved, despite it being in rough shape when the last family member sold it. It's a gem of a site. There is a very small gift shop section. The tours are a bit over an hour and totally worth it to visit.

I loved this place! Good docents made for a great experience. Highly recommend coming here.

But it was fascinating to really learn about the role George Marshall played in history, and about how impressive he was in putting Service over self.

I visited Dodona Manor (also called the George C. Marshall International Center) this past Friday when I was in Leesburg, and I'm so glad I made time to stop by. They offer tours Friday through Sunday, and you should check the online schedule, because the hours vary depending on the day. I was the only person on the 1pm tour last Friday, so I got a private tour from Kerry, a guide at Dodona. The tours are 75 minutes (which includes a short video that provides some context for the rest of the tour), and I learned a lot. I knew the name, but I didn't remember much of what I'd learned about Marshall in school. Kerry was a great guide, and I really learned so much about Marshall's accomplishments, his life, and the house (where Marshall and his second wife lived from 1941-1959). The house has been beautifully restored to the way it looked when the Marshalls lived there, and much of the furniture and collections are original (Marshall's actual possessions, photographs, books, etc.). If you're interested in American history, include Dodona Manor on your itinerary for a visit to Leesburg!

On one side: "Saving the Declaration of Independence" On 22 Aug. 1814, two days before British forces entered Washington, Sec. of State James Monroe ordered government records, including the Declaration of Independence, removed to Virginia for safekeeping. They were first deposited in an abandoned mill just across the Potomac River. State Department clerk Stephen Pleasonton, believing the documents still in danger of discovery, sent them 35 miles west to Leesburg. They were secured south of town here at the abandoned Rokeby mansion, probably in its brick vault. The Declaration, the papers of the Continental Congress, and other historical government records remained here for several weeks until they were returned to Washington. On the other side: "The War of 1812" Impressment of Americans into British service and the violation of American ships were among the causes of America's War of 1812 with the British, which lasted until 1815. Beginning in 1813, Virginians suffered from British naval blockade of the Chesapeake Bay and from British troops plundering the countryside by the Bay and along the James, Rappahannock, and Potomac rivers. The Virginia militia deflected a British attempt to take Norfolk in 1813 and engaged British forces throughout the war. By the end of the war, more than 2000 enslaved African Americans in Virginia had gained their freedom aboard British ships.
