A great visit to George Washington’s home. It was a very large estate and farm. There were very interesting exhibits and movies as well as a tour of the house.
The gardens.
The house is built of wood. The planks are cut tolook like stone then painted. Sand is thrown at the paint to give it the appearance of stone. This is the part they are stripping to restore.
The Patomic River and the back lawn.
The standard photo of the back of the house.

The Mount Vernon ward.
The 16 sided barn. A unique way to harvest wheat.

The presidential cabinet. Someone has a sense of humor!
