Overview
Mount Vernon was the home of the first President of the USA, George Washington. Located 16 miles south of the city, the gorgeous setting and beautiful gardens overlooking the Potomac River are worth a visit alone, but any history enthusiast should not miss this chance to learn more about Washington’s life
An old tobacco plantation, the Washington family owned Mount Vernon for generations before General Washington inherited it in 1754. 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.
