Sully Historic Site, more commonly known as Sully Plantation, is both a Virginia landmark and nationally registered historic place in Chantilly, Virginia.
The earliest recorded claim to the land was made by the Doeg. Later the Lee family of Virginia owned the land from 1725 to 1839. Richard Bland Lee did not build the main house until 1794. Following the purchase by William Swartwort in 1838, Sully was used as a home, a working farm, or both by a series of private owners. Then in 1958, Sully was acquired by the federal government as a part of the area to be used for the construction of Dulles Airport. Today the Fairfax County Park Authority operates the site with a specific focus on the Lee family.

Sully Historic Site is a wonderful place to take a walk or have a picnic. They offer house tours and they have various classes throughout the year. We stopped by on a sunny winter day and had the place practically to ourselves. I highly recommend stopping and checking it out you can stroll the grounds and hiking trails for free. There is a $10 per person fee for house tours. The property consists of the main house, stand alone kitchen, smoke house and there is a 1 room school house on the property.

Sully Historic Site is a beautiful place to spend the afternoon and it has a lot of educational spots to visit on a self guided tour. They do have guided tours but I can't speak to those.
