Arlington&nbsp;National&nbsp;Cemetery, one of America's most important historical landmarks, is best known for more than 300,000 graves and famous monuments; but before this beautiful&nbsp;spot&nbsp;on the Potomac became a cemetery, it had a very interesting history entwined with the early&nbsp;history&nbsp;of the Virginia settlement and some of Virginia's first families including the Custis's, Lees, and Washingtons.&nbsp;
In this presentation, Cynthia Parzych will go into detail on the backstory of this iconic spot and highlight some of the stories of the interesting people who lived and were buried on the land that’s become Arlington National Cemetery.&nbsp;
