George C Marshall Intl Ctr - (703) 777-1880

The George C. Marshall House, also called the Dodona Manor, was the home of the family of General Marshall until 1959. Dodona Manor is open to the public on Saturday-Monday and on other days with special request. When we first arrived, we had no idea where to park, but then we found out that we could park at the nearby shops or municipal building. We also had trouble finding a volunteer who works there. The giftshop door said Closed, but it actually was not. We opened the door and found someone who then took our money ($10 for adult, $5 for student and kid, and $8 for senior and group member) and gave us our tour. We started the tour with a brief video of General Marshall's career. The tour lasted over an hour and was filled with lots of information about the name and architecture of the home, the Marshall family, visitors who stayed with them, and the belongings/contents. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
