Mount Vernon was home to George Washington for over 45 years. Today the home has been restored to its appearance in 1799, the last year of George Washington's life. After the White House, it is the most visited historic home in America. It's tranquil beauty and elegant, yet functional settings reflect the character of the man who was instrumental in establishing independence for a new nation and for guiding that evolving country through the first turbulent years of union. We invite you to explore his home and discover the remarkable man who will perhaps forever be known as 'first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.'
