Ida Lee Park

In 1979, William F. Rust, Jr., and his wife, Margaret Dole Rust purchased Greenwood Farm, in Leesburg. They donated the land to the town of Leesburg in 1986. The park was named in memory of Rust’s grandmother Ida Lee Rust, who was the daughter of Edmund Jennings Lee, first cousin of Robert E. Lee. Ida Lee spent her married life at "Rockland", the Rust family home located near Leesburg, and in her later years lived in a house built by her sons in Leesburg.

The Rusts also donated three acres of land from the original 141 acres for the Rust Library, located adjacent to Ida Lee Park. In 1991, the Rusts donated money for the construction of the William J. Cox Pavilion at Ida Lee Park, a public picnic area containing a pavilion and playground.
