Mansion Tour

Step into the Mansion that George and Martha Washington called home. View original Washington furnishings and the Key to the Bastille given to Washington by the Marquis de Lafayette.

George Washington's Mansion is one of the most iconic buildings in the United States. 

Washington spent 45 years slowly enlarging the original dwelling to create the 21-room residence we see today. He oversaw each renovation and selected architectural features that expressed his growing status as a Virginia gentleman and as the leader of a new nation.

Visitors to the Mansion will see the New Room, the grandest room in the Mansion; the Front Parlor, where guests were entertained; and the dining room, one of the most striking spaces in the Mansion.
