Where did robert Lee die?

Answer 1

In Lexington, Virginia, five years after the war ended. When Lee got back to Richmond after Appomattox his family was staying in a house rented by his son, who was a prisoner of war. He was broke and had no income; he had invested all his money in Confederate bonds. The Federal government had confiscated his home (its Arlington Cemetery today). He had an invalid wife to care for. The Trustees of tiny Washington College in Lexington, a school closed and devastated by the war, met at that time, and elected Lee as the new president of the college. Lee accepted and the school built a new house for its new president and his family, and it was in this house that Lee died. Under Lee's leadership the school rebounded from the war and began to flourish. Today it is Washington and Lee University. The school also built a new chapel while Lee was its president, and he had his office in the basement of the new chapel. His remains are in a crypt across the hall from his office, which has been preserved just as it was when he went home from work for the last time. Traveler, Lee's beloved horse, is buried behind the chapel.
