George Washington's Mount Vernon

George Washington's Mount Vernon: Historic Mansion & Grounds

Walk in the footsteps of America's first president at George Washington's Mount Vernon. You'll feel like you've met the man himself after this jam-packed day that includes a tour of the mansion and self-guided roaming of the grounds. Step back in time as you come upon the working blacksmith shop, where historical interpreters recreate 18th-century life. Discover the everyday side of George and Martha Washington as you view hundreds of their personal possessions on display in the mansion and Museum. Wander through Mount Vernon's four gardens, check out functioning reconstructions of the distillery and gristmill, the Washingtons' tomb and much more. Please see the full event description for details, as some exhibits are not open year-round.
