Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

A visit to George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate is a must for any history buff! The meticulously restored mansion and outbuildings, four separate gardens, a working farm, various memorials, and burial sites including Washington’s tomb all give tourists a fascinating glimpse into the life of the first U.S. president. History comes alive with actors portraying people who were part of his world, and educational programs offer hands-on activities for a family-friendly visit. Themed tours are available throughout the year. General admission tickets can be purchased online for guests who want to skip the (sometimes) long entry line.
