HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Custis White House Site.
This place, six miles northeast, was the home of Martha Custis. According to tradition, George Washington first met her at Poplar Grove, near by, in 1758. On January 6, 1759, Washington and Martha Custis were married, it is believed at the White House. The house was burned by Union troops when McClellan made the White House his base of operations in May, 1862.
About Custis White House Site
The White House plantation was associated with Martha Washington’s Custis family. During the 1781 Virginia campaign, the surrounding Pamunkey and York River landscape became a corridor for military movement. The site’s strongest Revolutionary connection is familial and geographic rather than a documented battle.
