The first president’s birthplace is a point of pride in this Northern Neck county—as is the home of the Lee family—which includes the only two brothers to sign the Declaration of Independence and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The Potomac River, the Colonial equivalent of Interstate 95, was the thoroughfare that made Westmoreland an 18th-century political power. Its waters and the fertile fields stretching from its shore westward to the Rappahannock River provided a living for the fathers of our Founding Fathers.
