Take a self-guided tour of the first American president’s historic estate. Stroll through the 18th-century gardens and grounds, visit the Washington family tombs, meet heritage-breed animals, and interact with people from Washington's world. See original objects in the museum galleries, including George Washington's sword.
During your visit to Mount Vernon, you'll walk in the footsteps of famous visitors, including Washington's fellow founding fathers. Although there is no record of Alexander Hamilton visiting Mount Vernon, evidence of Hamilton the Musical abound.
