Our local map society enjoyed a very educational half day with a map donor and museum staff, with much new content in terms of documents, artifacts and videos now on display for the public. Much of it is oriented for high school students and different media are used. We had a good lunch at the Inn and did more touring in the afternoon. Because of the heavy crowds arriving much of the year I advise anyone to inquire when the visitor volume will be lighter, before finalizing plans to visit.

I participated in a guided tour put on by USA Guided Tours. Our tour guide Joey was a fountain of information and I feel like I came away from George Washington's Home with so many facts that I had never heard. We spent 4 full hours on the estate and could have stayed longer. The museum at the end was terrific and included a 22 minute video on early military actions when we chose to be independent. Be prepared to walk, a lot...on uneven paths, including dirt and cobble stones and to walk up and down steep hills so you can pay respect to George & Martha Washington and the enslaved cemetary. You will also climb and descent a number of stairs. The estate looks out over the Potomic and is just a beautiful property. A must see!

This is a tour everyone should take to learn more about George Washington and life back in the day. This place is rich in history. The guides offer information that a lot of us didn't know or were never told and never thought to look up. Definitely spend the whole day there and preplan a little about how you want to spend your time and where you want to go while there. You can even get lunch on the premises.
