The Real George Washington Tour
Waitlist Only
Friday, Jan. 15, 11:30 AM - 3:30 PM
Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens invites you to discover the real George Washington through guided tours, galleries with interactive exhibits, artifacts and engaging movies. Visit the mansion, the outbuildings that tell the story of plantation life, Washington’s tomb and the slave memorial and burial ground honoring the men and women who lived and worked at Mount Vernon
You will stroll throughout Washington’s estate and gardens and his four-acre diversified working farm where he grew many crops. Seen first and foremost as commander in chief of the Continental Army and America’s first president, Washington was also a successful entrepreneur. At his gristmill and distillery you’ll see millers and distillers in early-American attire producing corn meal and operating copper stills. George Washington's Distillery is recognized as the gateway to the American Whiskey Trail and his original whiskey recipe is on sale in the gift shops. The Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center and the Ford Orientation Center has 25 theaters and galleries that tell the story of George Washington the man. You will find original artifacts, videos, and immersion theater experiences that illuminate the life of “The Father of our Country” and America’s first hero.
Lunch is included at the Mount Vernon Inn with colonial servers and delicious early-American cuisine.
This tour offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at areas of Mount Vernon that will not be open to delegates during the evening event held at the venue.
