1. Arlington National Cemetery Tulip Poplar Marker
The grounds of Arlington National Cemetery were originally part of Arlington House, the 1,100-achre home of General Robert E. Lee and his family before the war began. Today, the cemetery covers 612 acres and is the final resting place for more than 300,000 veterans and their families. The Arlington National Cemetery Tulip Popular is one of the oldest and most prominent trees shading the graves. This tree grew from a seed handpicked from the Arlington National Cemetery Tulip Poplar.
