• Learn about General Robert E. Lee's home and its history during and after the Civil War

• Visit the memorials dedicated to the victims of the space shuttles Columbia and Challenger

• See the unmissable Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier


A sobering reminder of the realities of war, but a stunningly beautiful tribute, the Arlington National Cemeteryis the final resting place of nearly half a million service members and their families. Your tour begins at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, where you will learn about the astounding efforts of women in service of the military and how servicewomen came to have a dedicated space in Arlington.


Next, you will hear the stories of General Marshall, Chief Justice Rehnquist and Army General Bradley, while visiting their final resting places. From there, you will learn about General Robert E. Lee, the previous owner of these grounds who inhabited Arlington House. You will also explore lesser-known graves, including famed boxer Joe Lewis and the astronauts of the space shuttles Columbia and Challenger.

Following this, your guide will take you to the highlight of the tour for many—The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where you will be able to see a Changing of the Guard ceremony and hear the harrowing efforts undertaken to uncover the identities of the nation’s fallen soldiers whose bodies have never been identified.
