Description
This is President Kennedy's final resting place. Overlooking the gravesite is Arlington House. "ARLINGTON, Va. - A historic plantation originally built as a monument to George Washington overlooking the nation's capital, a site that later was home to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and 63 slaves, will be restored to its historical appearance using a $12.3 million gift from a wealthy history buff.
David Rubenstein, a billionaire history buff and co-founder of The Carlyle Group, said Thursday he is giving the National Park Foundation the funds needed for a full restoration of the historic house, grounds and slave quarters to show visitors how they appeared in 1860, as well as an overhaul of the site's museum exhibits. Rubenstein said the site crowns the most sacred land in the country, Arlington National Cemetery, but needed major repairs."
