Mount Vernon was the plantation of George Washington, the first President of the United States, and his wife, Martha. The estate is situated on the banks of the Potomac River in Fairfax County, Virginia, near Alexandria, across from Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Tickets are $20 for adults but well worth seeing a house built in1734 by Washington’s father. George Washington expanded the house twice, once in the late 1750s and again in the 1770s.
There are also gardens along with buildings to visit.
Make sure you save time for the museum and gift shop where you can view Washington’s dentures (and no they aren’t made from wood)
