Lee Chapel & Museum

This picturesque chapel inters Robert E Lee (1807–70). After Lee's death, Virginia sculptor Edward Valentine created its life-size 'Recumbent Lee' statue. A small museum displays Lee's office, and his horse Traveller is buried outside.

Washington & Lee University has a single-sanction honor system, and students must withdraw if convicted by a student jury of lying, cheating or stealing. Honor trials are held in the chapel.
