Nice piece! Thanks for posting.
From the Stratford House web site:
"The Robert E. Lee Memorial Foundation was created in 1929 to acquire the 18th-century Stratford Hall estate and grounds and, in the words of the foundation's by-laws, "restore, furnish, preserve, and maintain it as a national shrine in perpetual memory of Robert E. Lee." The foundation, whose name was later changed to the Robert E. Lee Memorial Association, bought the nearly 2,000-acre historic site from the Stuart family."
I would suggest sending an email to one of the Research staff listed on the House's web site to ask your origin questions.
Regarding current value...
Unfortunately, this type of medal doesn't have a large collector following and can often be found for $10 or less at coin shows. Of course, prices can vary.
