Along the way, discover the merchants, craftsmen, enslaved workers, sailors, and political leaders who helped shape Washington's world.
Continue to Mount Vernon, Washington's beloved estate overlooking the Potomac River. Explore the mansion, gardens, museum, outbuildings, tomb, and working farm while learning about Washington's life as a soldier, surveyor, planter, entrepreneur, and first president of the United States.
