"Salona, Fairfax County, Virginia" by Ellen L. Anderson is a historical account written in the late 20th century. This work provides a detailed examination of the historical significance of the property known as Salona, from its origins in the early 18th century through its many transformations and owners over the centuries. The text primarily focuses on the influential families associated with Salona, such as the Lees, the Maffitts, and the Smoots, highlighting
important events associated with the estate, including a visit from President James Madison. The opening of the book introduces readers to Salona, a historic brick dwelling set amidst the commercial development of McLean, Virginia.
