George Washington's Mount Vernon
Admission includedStanding on the wide piazza of George Washington's Mount Vernon, the Potomac River stretches out below in a broad, glittering sweep that looks much as it did in the eighteenth century. The mansion's white-painted facade, formal gardens, and working farm create a vivid sense of the world Washington built and tended. George Washington's Mount Vernon rewards slow, attentive visits, where every outbuilding, slave memorial, and kitchen garden adds texture to the story of America's founding generation.
