George Washington's Mount Vernon: Entry Ticket

Ready for a fun history fix? Tour this former home of President George Washington and former plantation, which has all been impeccably restored to its 1799 glory. Did you know, George was also a farmer?

There are sweeping views of the Potomac River, landscaped gardens, and rooms packed with a rich history. The site also features costumed actors, who, like most people in politics, will be only too happy to pretend it's still 1799!
