About this activity

Mount Vernon was the home of the first President of the USA, George Washington.

Visitors can have a tour of the main house, which has been restored to what it would have been like during the 18th century. Other amazing experiences include the 16-sided barn, live animals, a working blacksmith, the wharf, the wilderness trail, and the tomb housing Washington's remains. Hear the stories of the enslaved community.

Learn about Our founding father's leadership, love for country, and enduring legacy at his preserved estate.
