You cannot go wrong! I wish I could find the phone with the pictures. The grounds are beautiful, the tour guides excellent, and while there are always a lot of people, you can still find quiet places outside on the property. I’ll add the pictures as I find them. Just get your kids here.

Awesome Tour! Worth every penny. The education received, seeing property close up and hearing the staff providing information was awesome! Not enough time to see and enjoy everything. This tour plus the boat ride is decribed in one word, PRICELESS!!!

It was cold when I went, but I would love to go when it's warmer to really enjoy it better.
American history comes alive at George Washington's Mount Vernon, just 15 miles south of Washington, D.C. The most popular historic estate in America, Mount Vernon is open 365 days a year. See Washington's Mansion and historic outbuildings like the blacksmith’s shop and the spinning house. Pay your respects at a memorial to the enslaved people who lived and worked on the estate, and at the tomb of George & Martha Washington. Stroll the beautiful gardens, see the animals at our working farm, and discover the fully-functioning Gristmill & Distillery, open on weekends from April-October. The exhibit, "Mount Vernon, The Story of an American Icon," features period artifacts and tells the stories of the people who shaped this historic landmark.
