There was no place in colonial America as grand as Woodlawn.  The Lewises of Woodlawn entertained lavishly.

Before his death in 1799, George Washington deeded 2,000 acres of the Mount Vernon estate to Major Lawrence and Eleanor "Nelly" Custis Lewis. Lawrence was the President's nephew and "Nelly" was Martha Washington's grandaughter.

Dr. William Thornton, first architect of the U.S. Capitiol designed the mansion where the family displayed a collection of objects in honor of their illustrious ancestors.  Woodlawn is open for tours and is an extremely popular site for private events.  It is convenient to Washington's Grist Mill and Mount Vernon Estate.

Wow! This sounds like a gorgeous place and I can tell it is from the picture.  Do you have any pictures of the interior?
