Location:
Leesburg is 1 hour west of
Washington
,
D.C. and 25 minutes from Dulles
Airport
(hub of several discount airlines). Our
house is located in the middle of the Goose Creek Historic
District (3,000 acres) which has many significant historic
properties
and sites. Next
to our house is probably one of America's
best hammock sites for rest and relaxation (no noise except
what nature provides) under mature pine trees. Also,
there's several major Civil War battlefields including Antietam
and Gettysburg
which are great day trips. Also, the brand new Smithsonian
Air
Museum
(largest in world)
located at Dulles Airport
with a direct shuttle service to D.C. |
