LEESBURG making history hip...
Leesburg is a town rich in historic significance. Great American leaders have long gathered, planned and lived here. General George Washington is fabled to have used the old stone house on West Loudoun Street as a war headquarters in his efforts to win American freedom. Today you can walk the streets of Leesburg’s historic district and find many eras of significant United States history represented in the architecture alone, now alive with vibrant businesses and residents alike. Another significant "George" in American history, General George C. Marshall, also set up home base in Leesburg at his Dodona Manor, positioned in the gateway to Leesburg’s
heart on East Market Street in the East Village of downtown Leesburg. Much like Monticello or Mount Vernon, this home of American visionary, George C. Marshall was nearly demolished. After 15 years of toil and the efforts of over 1,500 locals, this national treasure was restored and opened to the public on Veterans Day in 2005. The authenticity of this historic home delights visitors with original artifacts like the historic telephone on which he spoke to President Truman about critical world events. To learn more about this great American veteran and visionary and one of Leesburg’s significant residents visit www.georgecmarshall.org.
