Teaching American History Grants? We Can Help!

George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens is pleased to participate in the Teaching American History Grant program! We have designed a range of full and half day program options presented by curators, archaeologists, historians, and other subject matter experts from Mount Vernon’s staff and partnering institutions, including George Mason University, The George Washington University, and The Society of the Cincinnati.

The following list includes just a few examples of the scholarly presentations that can be arranged through the Mount Vernon Education Department, in addition to special tours, private evening events, and dinners at the Mount Vernon Inn.

• “The Presidency of George Washington”
• “George Washington’s Leadership”
• “Young George Washington”
• “Revealing Mount Vernon’s Past through Archaeology”
• “George Washington: Architect”
• “Getting in Touch with George Washington” (material culture; object-based exploration)
• “History Takes Place” (geography and history)
• “Slave Life at Mount Vernon”
• “George Washington’s Business Sense”
• “The Real Martha Washington”
• “The Washington Family: An Elementary Classroom Workshop”
