Few individuals have made such an enormous impact on the world and its history as George Washington, and visiting his plantation home and seeing the place where he spent some of the most significant moments of his life is a rare privilege. Seeing his stately home, the establishment’s lovingly maintained grounds, and Washington’s final resting place gives visitors a fresh perspective on the first president of the United States.

Today, Mount Vernon is a museum that features historic documents and possessions of some of the historic figures who spent time on the estate. The estate also includes the Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Ford Orientation Center, two facilities with a number of galleries that contain over 700 original artifacts and possessions of George Washington, including his dentures. George Washington’s Distillery is one of the most popular stops on the tour of the estate.
