The chapel at Washington and Lee University was designed by Robert E. Lee while he was president of Washington College as the university was then known. Lee attended daily chapel, sitting in the first row. He and his family are buried in the basement of the chapel.

This chapel is full of history!
Have you ever met Lee in the chapel?
Such a fascinating and rich history, and what a humble home for a big man. The chapel is pretty, especially covered in vines like this.
Beautiful chapel. And history.
I had to click on this one. What a charming chapel, especially with all the ivy growing on the bottom half. I had no idea about this burial location!
What an interesting place. I had no idea Robert E. Lee designed a chapel and was buried in it.
My goodness!!!

i had no idea they were buried there, very interesting and love the old building
Without a doubt, Washington and Lee is the most beautiful campus I have ever seen.
I love small chapels like this one, they just have a special feel... humbling would be my best description.
Hope all is well with your parents, George.
Keeping Betsy and you in my thoughts and prayers, have a blessed Sunday my friend...
It's a lovely little chapel.
