Custis-Lee Mansion?


That is the correct (previous) name! The building is currently named 'Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial'.

Your turn, Rusty

I know he liked to use the USS Missouri as his cruise ship, much the same as FDR enjoyed driving a destroyer like a power boat.


I don't know/remember where the Little White House was, but I suspect it was in Key West. I know he liked to play poker down there.

President James Madison, "Father of the Constitution," also owned a plantation in Virginia with a mansion on it, like Washington and Jefferson.

Monday's hint- The mansion shares a name with a city in France, and the American state capital with the smallest population.

Final hint, - The state capital is in the 14th state.

You can use Google now, if that hint doesn't enable a good guess.

Abraham Lincoln was not a rich man and not have a mansion. What city did he live and practice law in before being elected President? He was the first President to be assasinated so he did not retire anywhere.
