This was my second time to Mt. Vernon this year, and I loved it just as much this time. Previously, I was here in February, so it was fun to see how the landscape has changed with the changing seasons. Make sure to book a tour to the mansion and pick up an audio guide in the visitors center entrance (these are free) This time we booked a “Behind The Scenes National Treasure 2” tour. We are big fans of that movie, so this really appealed to us. The tour lasted a little under one hour and was informative and fun. We were able to go many places on the property you can’t access with the grounds pass only. Highly recommend. Also, don’t miss the museum on your way out. Lots to see and read here.

We definitely did not have allot enough time to explore Washington's Estate but enjoyed every minute that we did. The House was very well restored and contained a lot of original pieces. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and gave us an inside look to the life of Washington and during that period in time. The gravesites were really impressive. The Estate is very expansive and the museum is quite large. Allow several hours to see it all.

Our school group went through here (on a rainy day), but was still very enjoyable, the history in and around the grounds is amazing to listen to. The view out the back porch is my favorite. To see how they lived way back then and to see how things have been preserved for so many years is incredible.
