George Washington's Mount Vernon

Open 365 days of the year, Mount Vernon is the most popular historic estate in America. Over 100 million people have visited Mount Vernon since 1860, when the estate officially opened to the public. Today, Mount Vernon welcomes an average of one million guests each year.
Mount Vernon is dedicated to teaching people around the world about the life and legacies of George Washington. Our educational resources are designed to support further exploration into Washington’s world both in and out of the classroom through educational videos, interactive tools, primary and secondary source collections, and more. The George Washington Presidential Library houses resources that aid the research of the Washingtons, the colonial and the founding era, history of Mount Vernon estate, and the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association (MVLA). The mission of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association is to preserve, restore, and manage the estate of George Washington to the highest standards and to educate visitors and people throughout the world about the life and legacies of George Washington, so that his example of character and leadership will continue to inform and inspire future generations.
