George & Martha Washington's home For more information on Mount Vernon, click here |
A National Historic Landmark, Mount Vernon is President
George and Martha Washington’s plantation home. Though the property belonged to
the family from 1674, construction of the Palladian-style home began in 1758,
and guests are able to walk through this magnificent place.
The estate is open year-round and for an entrance fee, visitors
are able to tour the mansion, grounds and museum. Even if you’re not a history
buff, visiting Mount Vernon is an educational delight!
Goofing around in the Visitors' Center Photos in the home and museum weren't allowed, so I only have some from other areas |

We visited in the spring and the grounds were beautiful! |
