Ready for a fun history fix? Tour this former home of President George Washington and former plantation, which has all been impeccably restored to its 1799 glory. Did you know, George was also a farmer?

There are sweeping views of the Potomac River, landscaped gardens, and rooms packed with a rich history. The site also features costumed actors, who, like most people in politics, will be only too happy to pretend it's still 1799!

With the Grounds Pass, you can take a self-guided walk around this immense property, enjoying panoramic views of the Potomac River. Discover how Washington designed the fine landscape and beautiful gardens. Step into period outbuildings and chat with the costumed cast of characters about 18th-century farm life.

The Grounds Pass includes many sights inside the museum. The exhibit "Mount Vernon: The Story of an American Icon" introduces you to the people who shaped Mount Vernon, including Washington and Custis family members, enslaved and hired laborers, and Vice Regents of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.
