The Spectacle National Park Service Arlington House U.S. Department of the Interior The Robert E. Lee Memorial The Spectacle From the Office Down the Hall Something magical happened last week in the swampy wilds of Arkansas, but it went largely unnoticed here at Arlington House— or anywhere else for that matter. A lone researcher spotted an unusual bird. This is a fact that, unless you are a bird watcher, you may have ignored as mildly interesting, but largely unimportant. But this bird, the “Lord God Bird” as it was sometimes called, shares something in common with Robert E. Lee: it has been gone a long time. At some moment in time, along about April 19, 1861, Robert E. Lee stopped pacing and wrote two lines that removed him from the US Army. Soon after that, there was another moment when he stepped over the threshold, leaving Arlington for the last time. It is unclear whether he saw Arlington again only once, or if he might have seen it twice from a train. None-the-less, we can say with certainty that, at some point, he saw it for the Arlington House last time. Because that is the nature of time and events. There is always a first time, and know what color they were. But what if more important to us, perhaps, is his consequently, there is always a last time, a someone were to see one, catch a glimpse, character. With only scant letters, photos and moment that then falls extinct from the river even if only from a train? Suddenly we could some boots, how do we know that we have of events in which we swim. color the bones and order them correctly. We reassembled him correctly when we talk to could see what thoughts lay behind their visitors? We know much of what he did, but And so to understand what happened, to (yellow?) eyes. Similarly, what if someone— not so much of how he did it. Perhaps more know Lee’s expression as the train trundled certainly unexpectedly—were to catch a important than his height, would be to know past Arlington, we must search for evidence fleeting glimpse of Lee as he rode Traveler whether he made a fist when he was angry, or of these extinct events. More specific than across a field? While this would be headline if he scratched his ear when he was historians, we become “momentologists” news (“Long Dead American Leader Spotted perplexed. When Lee laughed, what did it and sift the bones of events to resurrect them in Richmond!”), what difference would this sound like? If we could see him pace, his as a Tyrannosaurus is assembled in a discovery make to history? How would it steps measured or quick, we would get a museum. And this is not always an easy thing change our understanding of Lee? much better sense of the man and his to do. Early on, the Tyrannosaurus was struggles. But he is long gone, and we can articulated as a tall, but shambling monster. A visitor asked me, “what color were Lee’s only guess at these things now. More recently, paleontologists have eyes?” I’ve been asked countless times how reassessed the evidence and reassembled tall was he? How big were his feet?

  • Shakespeare in Love
    FEB Shakespeare 26 MAR in Love 29 Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall Music by Alex Bechtel Directed by Matt Pfeiffer Welcome to Shakespeare in Love. Every year, many of you cry out to us “Dear God, no more Shakespeare!” While others plead “I loved your Winter’s Tale, your Richard III. Please put on Midsummer. I beg you for a Twelfth Night.” With Shakespeare In Love, the Purists and the Never Barders may unite to curse us with a plague on both our houses, but if they — and you — are someone who loves love, well then . Here is a love letter to romantic love, to the theatre, and to the rebellious, transgressive, mysterious, and glorious madness of both. Whether you keep Shakespeare close to your heart or far from it, we invite you to celebrate what he loved most: the stage, its players, poetry . and a dog. Zak Berkman, Producing Director Lend me your ears Matt Pfeiffer, Director I’ve been really blessed to spend most of my career working on the plays of William Shakespeare. I believe his plays are foundational to Western culture. Love him or hate him, his infuence is an essential part of our understanding of stories and storytelling. And I’ve had the privilege for the last six years of fostering a specifc approach to his plays. I found that attempting to be in conversation with the principals of the theatre practices of Shakespeare’s time was a good starting place—not so much aesthetically, but logistically.

  • Mrs. General Lee's Attempts to Regain Her Possessions After the Cnil War
    MRS. GENERAL LEE'S ATTEMPTS TO REGAIN HER POSSESSIONS AFTER THE CNIL WAR By RUTH PRESTON ROSE When Mary Custis Lee, the wife of Robert E. Lee, left Arlington House in May of 1861, she removed only a few of her more valuable possessions, not knowing that she would never return to live in the house which had been home to her since her birth in 1808. The Federal Army moved onto Mrs. Lee's Arling­ ton estate on May 25, 1861. The house was used as army headquarters during part of the war and the grounds immediately around the house became a nation­ al cemetery in 1864. Because of strong anti-confederate sentiment after the war, there was no possibility of Mrs. Lee's regaining possession of her home. Restora­ tion of the furnishings of the house was complicated by the fact that some articles had been sent to the Patent Office where they were placed on display. Mary Anna Randolph Custis was the only surviving child of George Washing­ ton Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh. Her father was the grandson of Martha Custis Washington and had been adopted by George Washington when his father, John Custis, died during the Revolutionary War. The child was brought up during the glorious days of the new republic, living with his adopted father in New York and Philadelphia during the first President's years in office and remaining with the Washingtons during their last years at Mount Vernon. In 1802, after the death of Martha Washington, young Custis started building Arlington House on a hill overlooking the new city of Washington.
